Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is employed to study the optical properties of compressively strained short-period GaAs/InAs/GaNxAs1−x (0%<x<2.4%) superlattice (SL) heterostructures for photon energies from 0.75 to 1.55 eV (NIR-SE), and for wave numbers from 250 to 700 cm−1 (IR-SE). The undoped SL structures were grown on top of undoped GaAs buffer layers deposited on Te-doped (001) GaAs substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The InAs sequences consist of single monolayers. Structure, composition, layer thicknesses, and parallel and perpendicular lattice mismatch of the samples are studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution x-ray diffraction investigations. We employ Adachi’s critical-point composite model for data analysis in the near-band-gap spectral region (NIR-SE). For analysis of the IR-SE data we use the harmonic oscillator dielectric function model and the Drude model for free-carrier response. We report the direct band-gap energy E0, and the c...
