D. A. B. Miller, "Electric Field
Dependence of Optical Absorption in Quantum Well Structures: Physics and
Applications," Proc. SPIE 792, "Quantum Well and Superlattice
Physics," 176-177, (1987). Electroabsorption near the optical absorption
edge of quantum well materials is interesting both for physics and applications. The
author briefly summarizes the physical mechanisms involved (e.g. the quantum-confined
Stark effect) and the applications to optical modulators and switching devices
