Abstract

Photoluminescence and magneto-luminescence techniques were used to evaluate the optical properties of pseudomorphic GaAs/In0.2Ga0.8As/Al0.25Ga0.75As modulation doped single quantum wells. The data are analyzed using self-consistent calculations that predict a strong coupling between the InGaAs quantum well and the potential well formed in the AlGaAs barrier due to planar-doping. The coupling effect gives rise to additional transitions in the emission spectra. Temperature and magnetic field dependence of luminescence spectra provide strong evidence of indirect transitions in these structures.
