Abstract
The beam propagation method has been applied to find confined energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for a III-V quantum well structure subjected to an external electric field. Quantum-confined Stark shifts for both electrons and holes and excitonic states for single and double quantum wells are calculated. Excellent agreement with analytical results where available is demonstrated. A comparison with experimental data published in the literature is given.Keywords
