Abstract
We present theory and extended experimental results for the large shift in optical absorption in GaAs-AlGaAs quantum well structures with electric field perpendicular to the layers. In contrast to the Stark effect on atoms or on excitons in bulk semiconductors, the exciton resonances remain resolved even for shifts much larger than the zero-field binding energy and fields g 50 times the classical ionization field. The model explains these results as a consequence of the quantum confinement of carriers.

Structural characterization of multi-quantum wells in electroabsorption-modulated lasers by using synchrotron radiation micrometer-beams.

TL;DR: Micrometer-resolved X-ray (m-X-ray) beam available at third generation synchrotron radiation sources allowed us to directly measure the determinant structural parameters of MQW EML structures such as well and barrier widths and mismatches with a 2 mm spatial resolution.

The effect of electron interactions on the universal properties of systems with optimized off-resonant intrinsic hyperpolarizability

TL;DR: The focus of the present studies is the intrinsic hyperpolarizability, which is a scale-invariant quantity that removes the effects of simple scaling, thus being the relevant quantity for comparing molecules of varying sizes.
