1. 1s=1.4544 eV. These parameters are used in all calculations.
2. Second- and third-harmonic generation connected with intersubband resonances in a doped QW have been demonstrated in J. N. Heyman, K. Craig, B. Galdrikian, M. S. Sherwin, K. Campman, P. F. Hopkins, S. Fafard, and A. C. Gossard, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 2183 (1994). This is an entirely different mechanism from the one under discussion.
