Abstrakt: This paper develops a k·p method with analytical expressions to investigate the optical anisotropy of (11N)-oriented In0.53Ga0.47As/InP quantum wells. The proposed method is not only more straightforward than the conventional k·p method, but also more efficient. The present results reveal that in-plane anisotropy is associated with low-symmetry crystal microstructures. Hence, of the various (11N)-oriented quantum wells considered in the present study, the low-symmetry (110) sample exhibits the most obvious anisotropy, while the high-symmetry (001) and (111) samples exhibit isotropy.
