Abstract

The resonance of electronic states, or the mixing of wave functions in semiconductor coupled quantum wells has attracted much attention, because of the physical interest as well as a possibility attaining novel functional devices in electro-optical applications [1,2]. In this paper, we will study the mixing of the electronic states in coupled triple quantum well structures(TQW’s). The coupling of the electronic states is a strong function of the external field applied perpendicular to the heterointerface, which enables us to control the optical oscillator strength.
