Abstract
We show theoretically how the incorporation of several different compositions of strained-layer material into a single quantum well allows individual modification of the quantum-confined-Stark-effect (QCSE) shift with the field of both the e1-hh1 and e1D–1h1 energy transitions. By using this concept it has been possible to design a multiple-strain-stepped-quantum-well QCSE structure that has the Stark shift of the e1-hh1 and e1D–lh1 transitions at the same energy over the entire range of electric fields up to ±100 kV/cm.
