Abstract
Temperature-dependent reflectivity and photoluminescence spectra are studied for undoped ultra-wide 150 nm and 250 nm GaAs quantum wells. It is shown that spectral features previously attributed to a size quantization of exciton motion in z-direction coincide well with energies of quantized levels for light holes. Furthermore, optical spectra reveal very similar properties at temperatures above exciton dissociation point.
