Abstract
The possibility of controlling the optoelectronic properties of low-dimensional
systems allows establishing potential applications in electronic devices. The
spectra of this class of systems undergo strong changes due to effects of geom-
etry, size, electric and magnetic fields, intense non-resonant laser, among others
[1].
When a magnetic field is applied to a system, the spin-orbit interaction (SOI)
and the Zeeman effect generate changes in its behavior, which must be consid-
ered for a better understanding.
In Fig. 1, the geometry is shown, and the depicted vectors represent magnetic
field in z-direction and nonresonant field for linear and circular polarizations.
In this work, a double ring with azimuthal symmetry is studied, whose profile
of the transversal section was taken from the work [2]. The model includes a
magnetic field and an intense non-resonant laser with both linear and circular

tum ring to analyze their influence under spin-orbit interaction and Zeeman ef-

Results the spectra of a double ring are observed as a function of the laser parameter and
magnetic field. The magnetic field generates oscillations in the energy levels that
in turn influence the peaks of the absorption coefficient.
