摘要
The electronic structures of the Ga1-xInxNyAs1-y/GaAs compressively strained quantum wells (QW) are investigated using 6 X 6 k (.) p Hamiltonian including the heavy hole, light hole and spin-orbit splitting band. The curves of dependence of transition energy on well width and N mole fraction are obtained. The valence subband energy dispersion curves, density of state and TE and TM squared optical transition matrix elements of three possible QW structures for emitting 1.3 mum wavelength are given.
