AB  - Measurements of Optical Absorption (OA) and Photoluminescence 
  (PL) have been carried out on type I Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) system of GaAs-AlGaAs 
  grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). An attempt has been made to compare exciton 
  peak obtained for both heavy hole and light hole at band offset of 70/30 at 
  different temperatures (Theory and Experiment). It is revealed from the investigation 
  that the confinement energies of the particles increase with increase in the 
  height of the potential barrier fro electron and decrease with increase in height 
  of the potential barrier for light hole and heavy hole. The increase is more 
  pronounced in the case of the light hole.
