Abstract
We present a new interpretation of the Raman spectra of GaAs/AlAs ultr athin-layer superlattices based on the microscopic analysis of the opt ical vibrational modes. The difference between normal and inverted int erfaces is responsible for the lack of the inversion symmetry of the l ayers with respect to the central plane, therefore confined modes can no longer be considered as even or odd ones. All the optical vibration al modes, independently of their quantum index, are now active in Rama n scattering.
