AbstractPhotoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of exciton transitions has been utilized to obtain information about light-holes in strained InGaAs/GaAs single quantum wells. By monitoring their behavior with respect to that of heavy-holes, it was shown possible to ascertain whether or not the quantum wells were pseudomorphic (lattice matched but strained) or relaxed and, if strained, the magnitude of strain present. Thus the indium composition of the single QW layers was deduced. This method is advantageous since it is nondestructive, requires no special sample preparation, is accurate and can readily be extended to monitoring strain in QWs subjected to various processing steps associated with device fabrication.

Optical properties of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) in the vicinity of InAlAs quantum dots (QDs) were studied and compared with a theoretical model to clarify how the QD strain affects the electronic states in the nearby QW. In0.4Al0.6As QDs are embedded at the top of the QWs; the QD layer acts as a source of strain as well as an energy barrier. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements showed that the QD formation leads to the increase in the ratio Ie-lh/Ie-hh of the PLE intensities for the light hole (lh) and the heavy hole (hh), indicating the presence of the valence band mixing. We also theoretically calculated the hh-lh mixing in the QW due to the nearby QD strain and evaluated the PLE ratio Ie-lh/Ie-hh.
