The spin splitting of the Al x Ga 1 À x As/GaAs/Al y Ga 1 À y As/Al x Ga 1 À x As (x a y) step quantum wells (QWs) is theoretically investigated by the method of finite difference. The Al concentration in the barrier and in the step can dramatically affect the Rashba spin splitting induced by the in

✦ Synopsis
The optical gain of unstrained non-abrupt GaAs=AlxGa1-xAs single quantum wells as a function of the energy of the radiation, width of the well, and interface thickness is calculated. Both the transversal electrical and the transversal magnetic light polarization are considered. All sub-bands transitions in the quantum well are taken into account. It is shown that the existence of non-abrupt interfaces decreases the gain and shifts its spectra to higher frequencies.
