The oscillator strength is calculated using expression f1,2 = 2Ei,j "2 urCiszdmeszd · z · cjszddzu2, where meszd is an electron effective mass taken to be me InGaAs=0.0353m0 for In0.70Ga0.30As, me AlAs=0.1153m0 for AlAs, and me InAlAs=0.0753m0 for In0.55Al0.45As. ci szd and cjszd are the envelope wave functions in z direction of states i and j correspondently. Ei,j is the energy spacing of states i and j.
