Cyclotron resonance and inter-subband excitation experiments have been
performed on superlattices of the semimetallic, strained type II syst
em InAs/(Ga,In)Sb. We observe simultaneously one cyclotron resonance f
rom the 2D electrons located in the InAs and two resonances from the 2
D holes in the (Ga,In)Sb layers. The two hole resonances originate fro
m the M(J) = \3/2] states. We have found a strong crystallographic ani
sotropy in the hole masses between structures grown along [001] and [1
11]A orientations attributed to the strain decoupling of the heavy and
light hole levels in the Ga1-xInxSb valence band. In addition, we dem
onstrate for the first time that intersubband resonances can be direct
ly seen for the electrons at large tilt angles.
