A strong quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) from light hole related transitions at the Γ point (LH1-cΓ1) in Ge/Si0.15Ge0.85 multiple quantum wells is demonstrated from both photocurrent and optical transmission measurements. Our experimental results show a large and sharp optical absorption peak due to LH1-cΓ1 transitions, and its associated strong absorption change based on the QCSE. By exploiting LH1-cΓ1 transitions, optical modulators with improved compactness and competitive extinction ratio and optical loss can be envisioned for low energy chip-scale optical interconnect applications.
