Abstract

We have studied the oscillator strength of the lowest 1s heavy excitons in GaAs-AlAs quantum wells as a function of well-layer thickness by means of optical absorption. The oscillator strength of the lowest 1s heavy excitons is largely enhanced with the decrease of well-layer thickness. The result is the first full experimental observation of two-dimensional shrinkage of the exciton wave function in quantum wells.
