Estimate the spacing of the energy levels for electrons and holes (both light and heavy), and the optical transition energies, for the sample shown in Figure 4.5. Make the obvious approximation that the parabolic potential continues upwards, rather than stopping when it reaches the maximum imposed by the bands of the AlGaAs; this should be adequate for the lowest levels. Ignore also the variation in effective mass through the heterostructure
