High pressure photoluminescence measurements used to study the band structure of the In x Ga 1−x P/In 0.5 Al 0.5 P (x ⩽ 0.48) multiple quantum wells revealed that in narrow‐lattice‐matched and highly tensile strain structures the L 1c band is the lowest conduction band state. The L 1c minimum was identified as it shifted with pressure at a rate of (60 ± 5) meV/GPa, considerably smaller than that of the direct gap Γ 1c states.
