Abstract

Strained-layer InGaAs/GaAs-quantum-well structures grown on (111)-oriented GaAs substrates are of fundamental interest for a variety of nonlinear optical elements including second-harmonic generators for visible-light sources. Furthermore, there is the possibility of integrating such devices with a laser if the difficulties of growing such a device on a (lll)-oriented substrate can be overcome.
