Abstract In this theoretical work, we investigate how external fields like as electric, magnetic, and intense laser fields, as well as structural factors, affect the third harmonic generation (THG) coefficient of an AlGaAs/GaAs Manning-like double quantum well heterostructure. To achieve our goals, we numerically solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation using the diagonalization approach with the effective mass approximation and then derive the subband energy levels and corresponding wave functions of the structure. After that, we derive the mathematical expression of the THG coefficient by using the compact density matrix method. According to our results, the resonance peaks of the THG coefficient show shifting to the high-energy region with an increase in the field’s magnitude in cases where external fields (electric, magnetic, and intense laser) are applied separately. At the same time, increasing the depth (width) of the quantum well structure causes the THG peaks to shift to the high (low) energy region. We believe that the findings from this search will have a substantial impact on existing experimental device designs and applications.
