Abstract
Quantum well structures show interesting optical properties associated with their remarkable exciton absorption resonances. In the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE), electric fields applied perpendicular to quantum well (QW) layers can shift the optical absorption edge to lower photon energies with the exciton absorption peaks remaining clearly resolved. This effect has been studied extensively as it is useful in optical modulation and photonic switching applications.
