Quantum cyclotron resonance of two-dimensional holes in strained germa
nium layers of the periodic heterostructure Ge-Ge1-xSix has been obser
ved and investigated for the first time. The results are compared with
the data of electrophysical measurements in strong magnetic fields. A
clear dependence of the magnitude of the longitudinal effective mass
of the holes on the absolute magnitude of the elastic deformation of t
he germanium layers (splitting energy of the hole subbands) is observe
