We have investigated the electronic band structure and optical transparency conditions of InxGa1−xAs1−yNy /GaAs quantum well (QW) using 10-band, 8-band and 6-band k·p models. The transition energy calculated by the 8-band model agrees very well with the values calculated by the 10-band model, especi...
