Abstract

We study the optical properties of metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) grown (Ga,In)As-GaAs single quantum wells as a function of the growth parameters. Our objective is to study the properties of the type II light-hole excitons with light-hole wave function delocalized in the thick GaAs layers and electrons confined in the ternary alloy. However, marked structures (like for type I excitons) are observed in the reflectivity spectra. This we interpret in the context of a novel approach of the exciton problem via a self-consistent calculation of the electron-hole interaction.
