Abstract
We present experimental studies of photocreated carrier population in type II heterostructures. The main effects are related to charge separation and band filling : Blue shift and broadening of the luminescence line, transition from indirect recombination to pseudo-direct, and then to direct-type I recombination. They may lead to more complex non-linear effects such as bistability. These effects can be accounted for by theory in the framework of the Envelope-Function Approximation, by self consistent treatment of the Poisson and Schroedinger equations
