Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence measurements of strained und
oped Ino.lj Ga0.85As/GaAs and In0.15Ga0.85As/Al0.15Ga0.85As quantum we
ll structures with emission lines attributed to the first electron-fir
st heavy hole and first electron-first light hole excitonic transition
s have been analysed theoretically within the eight-band effective mas
s approximation. For In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs the results are consistent wi
th either type I or type II alignment of the light hole band. In the c
ase of In0.15Ga0.85As/Al0.15Ga0.85As our results indicate type II alig
nment for the light hole band and offset ratio of Q = 0.83. (C) 1998 A
