Abstract: Laser is a promising control tool for operating ultrafast electronic devices due to a wide variety of options such as field strength, frequency, and polarization. In this talk, first, I will introduce several key concepts in electron transport in a time-periodic (ac) field such as photon-assisted tunneling and coherent destruction of tunneling. Derived from a scattering model using single-particle Green’s functions together with non-Hermitian Floquet theory, the method can be applied to investigate coherent quantum transport through a single-molecule device based on phenyl-acetylene macrocycle and cross-conjugated systems in a linear polarized laser field. In a two terminal system, we proposed a new type of optoelectronic switch which utilizes photon-assisted tunneling and destructive quantum interference. The large on-off switch ratios and weak-field operation suggest the possibility of constructing a single-molecule optoelectronic switch. Moreover, several new concepts such as "current-laser frequency characteristics", "current-field amplitude characteristics", and "current-polarization angle characteristics" will be introduced in this talk. The investigation opens up a new direction for exploring single-molecule optoelectronics.
