Strain and Crystallographic Orientation Effects in (11****) (In,Al,Ga)As/GaAs Heterostructures: Physics and Device Applications

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the influence of crystallographic orientation on some optical properties of III-V compounds. Examples of how some of these orientation-dependent properties can be used to design novel optical devices are presented.
