OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF In_xGa_(1-x)As/GaAs STRAINED LAYER QUANTUM-WELLS
Inx—Ga1—xAs／GaAs应变量子阱光学性质

Structures have been observed in the photoluminescence (PL) and the photoreflectance (PR) spectra of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs (x = 0.1) strained-layer multiple quantum-wells (QWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs (100)-oriented substrate. The properties of the ground state transitions and the excited state transitions are discussed. The band offset ratio Qc = 0.69 (Qv = 1 - Qc = 0.31) is given based on the analysis of PL, PR experimental results. An important evidence, which indicates that the light holes are confined in the GaAs layer forming a type II superlattice, is provided.
