Linear and nonlinear optical properties in spherical quantum dots: Manning-Rosen potential

In this work, we studied the optical properties of spherical quantumdots confined in Manning-Rosen potential with the appropriate centrifugal term included. The approximate solution of the bound state and wave functions were obtained fromthe Schrodinger wave equation by applying the standard methods. Also, we have used the density matrix formalism to investigate the linear and third-order nonlinear absorption coefficient and refractive index changes.
