摘要：

A new, exact method for calculating excitonic absorption in superlattices is described. It is used to obtain high-resolution spectra showing the saddle-point exciton feature near the top of the miniband. The evolution of this feature is followed through a series of structures with increasing miniband width. The Stark ladder of peaks produced by an axial electric field is investigated, and it is shown that for weak fields the line shapes are strongly modified by coupling to continuum states, taking the form of Fano resonances. The calculated spectra, when suitably broadened, are found to be in good agreement with experimental results.
