Abstract
In this study, refractive index changes associated with intersubband transitions in a spherical quantum dot, GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs, have been theoretically calculated in the presence of impurity. In this regard, the effect of dot radius, stoichiometric ratio, impurity and incident optical intensity on the refractive index changes have been investigated for the transitions between higher energy states, i.e., 1s-1p, 1p-1d and 1d-1f. The results show that these parameters have a great influence on the refractive index changes.
