By using the compact density matrix approach, the electro-optic effect (EOE) in a semi-parabolic quantum well (QW) with an applied electric field has been theoretically investigated. Via a variant of displacement harmonic oscillation, the exact electronic states in the semi-parabolic QW with an applied electric field are obtained. Numerical results on typical GaAs material reveal that the electro-optic effect nearly linearly increases with the increasing of magnitude of the electric field, but it monotonously decreases with the increasing of confining potential frequency of the semi-parabolic QW. The EOE in the model investigated is 102 times larger than that in the symmetric parabolic QW under the same electric field and the same frequency of parabolic confining potential, which is due to the self-asymmetry of the system and the electric field effect.
