Abstract

Electroreflectance measurements allowed us to determine the

Γ_{8}^{v} \to L_{6}^{c}

,

Γ_{8}^{v} \to Γ_{6}^{c}

,

L_{4, 5}^{v} \to L_{6}^{c}

,

Γ_{7}^{v} \to Γ_{6}^{c}

, and

L_{6}^{v} \to L_{6}^{c}

AlSb transition energies from 25 to 295 K. At room temperature the

Γ_{8}^{v} \to L_{6}^{c}

and

Γ_{8}^{v} \to Γ_{6}^{c}

energies are, respectively, 2.211 and 2.300 eV; the spin-orbit splittings

Γ_{8}^{v} - Γ_{7}^{v}

and

L_{4, 5}^{v} - L_{6}^{v}

are, respectively, 673 and 427 meV. The

L_{4, 5}^{v} \to L_{6}^{c}

transition energy is 2.890 eV.
