We have observed lateral exciton confinement at the GaAs/Al(x)Gs(1-x)A
s interface. The confinement is achieved in both the growth and latera
l directions by the strain potential under an amorphous carbon stresso
r. The potential well Varies from 15 meV to 40 meV for different stres
sor sizes. We have also made transient measurements on this structure,
which show efficient exciton transfer from the bulk GaAs to the confi
ned region.
