Abstract

Optical absorption measurements have been carried out on compressive InGaAs/FInP strained layers. It is shown that thoptical absorption analysis is a powerful technique in order to study the inhomogeneities of strained layers. The energetic dispersion of the heavy hole relative to the light hole subband σHH/σLH is related with the presence of the coarse structure seen in Transmission Electron Microscopy observations.
