Abstract

A study of the linear and nonlinear optical behavior of recently realized crystalline organic semiconductor quantum wells is reported. Using the Davydov Hamiltonian, we find analytical solutions for the optical response function, and we predict the existence of intrinsic optical bistability and two-beam-coupling energy transfer in these materials.
