Optical Spectra and Inhomogeneous Broadening in CdTe/CdZnTe MQW Structures with Defects

Abstract

Optical spectra of Bragg multiple quantum wells with defects are studied analytically and numerically. It is shown that in systems with relatively strong exciton-photon coupling several different types of spectrum can be observed. The effects due to inhomogeneous exciton broadening are studied using numerical simulations.
