摘要：

Effective indices of modes propagating in multiple GaInAs wells on InP barriers (MQW) waveguides are accurately measured in the 1.4-1.75 mu m wavelength range using the grating coupling technique. Quantum size effects cause a selective polarization absorption and high birefringence, strongly depending on wavelength. The temperature dependence of refractive index and absorption originating from the temperature-dependent band gap is also observed. In the transparency region the refractive indices of GaInAs wells in InP barriers are deduced for two well widths using a multilayer slab waveguide model and an exciton model based on Lorentzian oscillator.
