Index of refraction N and extinction coefficient k (
= [N + ik]2) of the n-type GaAs substrate (dotted lines), the undoped GaAs buffer layer and SL sublayers (solid lines), and GaN0.009As0.991 (dashed line) for example. The position of the PSP+ mode is indicated as the frequency at which the substrate refractive index becomes less than 1. The GaN0.009As0.991 optical spectra reveal the Ga-N sublattice resonance at TO2 (vertical line).
