The effect of an intense laser field on the binding energy of hydrogenic impurity states with an impurity atom located at the center of a spherical quantum dot confined by an infinite barrier potential are studied as a function of the dot radius and of the intensity and frequency of the laser field.

โฆ Synopsis
An investigation of the optical properties of a spherical quantum dot (QD) with parabolic confinement potential containing one electron has been performed for the cases with a donor impurity and an acceptor impurity in the presence of an electric field. The oscillator strength between the ground and the first excited states in the QD has been calculated as functions of the confinement strength and the applied electric field. Based on the computed energies and wave functions, the linear, third-order nonlinear, the total optical absorption coefficients and the optical refractive index have been examined in detail. The results are presented as a function of the incident photon energy for the different values of the confinement strength and the electric field. It is found that the optical properties of a QD are strongly affected not only by the confinement strength, the applied electric field but also by the property of the impurity.
