Abstract
The optical absorption band edge of quantum wells (QW) can be shifted by electric fields applied perpendicular to the layers. This shift, usually called the quantum-confined Stark effect (QSCE), originates from the electric field-induced polarization of electron-hole pairs which are confined in the wells.1–3
