Abstract
It was recently predicted by Uenoyama and Sham[1] that the finite hole mass drastically reduces the strength of the photoluminescence near the Fermi level in n-doped quantum wells, while affecting very little the Fermi edge enhancement (FE) in absorption. Therefore FE should be seen in absorption;[2] its observation in luminescence[3,4] was attributed to the presence of localized hole levels.[1,3] We show here that asymmetry also offers a selection rule breaking mechanism, allowing for the appearance of the Fermi edge singularity in photoluminescence.
