Abstract
The authors report an exact numerical calculation of the effect of electric-field-induced level broadening on optical properties in GaAs quantum wells in the one-dimensional effective-mass approximation. It transpires that the combination of level broadening and wavefunction localisation effects obtained in the model as a function of the field strength are in accord with the observed changes in optical lineshapes and intensity.Keywords
