Appeal No. 1998-2938 Application 08/510,752 lines 17-19): "[The Zhou paper] describes a strained quantum well with a graded composition providing a value of strain that is graded in magnitude from one side of the well to the other." Of course, there still remains the question of whether the quantum well layer strain profile has the property of "substantially matching E1-HH1 and E1-LH1 Stark shifts for at least one polarity of applied electric field from 0 up to 100 kV/cm and zero field E1-LH1 and E1-HH1 transitions that are substantially degenerate." - 9 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
