Abstract

A quantitative investigation of the optical polarization of CuPt-ordered zinc-blende semiconductors has been conducted, both experimentally and theoretically. Within experimental uncertainty, the polarization ratio of the HH-CB transition is independent of the degree of order, although the theory predicts a weak dependence. The experimental result can be described fairly well by the quasicubic model. Analytical formulas are given for calculating transition matrix elements with arbitrary polarization and degree of order.
