Abstract
We applied the conduction band envelope-function Hamiltonian allowing for position-dependent effective mass, weak non-parabolicity terms and spin-orbit interaction to the intersubband transitions in a symmetric (001) III-V quantum well based on the lattice matched materials. The matrix elements of the normal-incidence optical transitions were prove d to be very small. Our results obtained in a plain analytical form ar e in quantitative agreement with those of semi-empirical numerical cal culations.
