Abstract
Rectangular single quantum-well (QW) structures have been known for their large field-induced absorption coefficient variations, which are several magnitudes that of bulk materials. This is due to the well-known quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE),1 which basically red shifts the fundamental exciton absorption edge quadratically with the electric field.
