The optical properties of quantum wells, which are center-doped with a
ccepters up to the high doping regime, 1 x 10(19) cm(-3), have been st
udied by means of photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation s
pectroscopy. The experimental results derived from the optical measure
ments are compared with theoretical predictions on the self-energy shi
fts of the subbands at high doping levels performed with self-consiste
nt Hartree calculations with the inclusion of many-body effects.
