✦ Synopsis


Intersubband optical properties of InGaAs/AlAs quantum heterostructures grown on InP are analysed. Our calculations based on a recently developed empirical tight-binding model show that the system is ideally suited for the tailoring of optical properties in a wide range. In particular, structures matching the frequency requirements of ultra-fast fibre optics communications are presented and discussed.
