Abstract :
We have performed a study of differently shaped InGaAs/InGaAsP quantum wells (Lz = 10 nm) with a view to finding the structure which produces the largest quantum confined Stark shift. We find both theoretically and experimentally that our greatest shift is produced by the structure composed of stepped quantum wells.
