Abstract
We report the first study of the room-temperature electroabsorption effects in CdZnTe/ZnTe multiple quantum well structures which exhibit sharp excitonic absorption peaks. The magnitude of the Franz Keldysh and quantum-confined Stark Effects are found to be comparable to those of III-V semiconductors. With optimized structures we expect II-VI semiconductors to be important components for information processing in the visible spectrum.Keywords
