Show affiliationsThe optical properties of a one-dimensional polar semiconductor in a strong electric field are considered. This class of materials includes non-centrosymmetric III–V inorganic quantum wires but also polar conjugated polymers such as polymethineimine. The polar Franz–Keldysh effect is derived via an analytic expression for the complex dielectric constant including line broadening and linear field terms. Results for the high-field non-perturbative regime as well as the low-field expansion are presented.
