Abstract

The photoluminescence spectra of type-II ZnSe/BeTe superlattices are investigated. Giant linear polarization of the luminescence is observed with unpolarized excitation in the spatially indirect exciton region. The effect is interpreted in a model of the general optical anisotropy of heterostructures with no common atom at the interfaces.
