Popis: We have measured optically-detected-cyclotron-resonance on In0.05Ga0.95As/GaAs superlattices with large magnetic fields applied both parallel (Faraday) and perpendicular (Voigt) to the growth direction. Cyclotron resonance in the Voigt geometry reveals a band structure in the growth direction. A semi-classical quantization of the Kronig-Penney dispersion gives good agreement with the data, providing that the cyclotron radius is larger than the superlattice period. We observe 1s-2p+ transitions from residual impurities which lie predominantly in the barrier regions. The impurity transition has a remarkable behaviour in the Voigt geometry, moving from the bulk 1s-2p+ field to close to the bulk free electron field as the barrier thickness increases, and is exactly mid-way between these two limits when the cyclotron radius equals the barrier thickness.
