Popis: We report the 0--5 T magnetoabsorption spectra of high-quality InAs epilayers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs. Excitonic absorption is observed at all fields, and, from the absolute energy of the magnetoexciton absorption peak, the zero-field exciton binding energy is found to be in excellent agreement with the theoretical prediction of 1.0 meV from calculations which take into account the anisotropy, degeneracy, and spin splitting of the InAs band structure. The energy shift of the magnetoexciton at high fields is found to agree with predicted shifts using the adiabatic method.
