We report on photoreflectance investigations of strained-layer In_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As/GaAs/Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As single quantum well laser structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. All the observed photoreflectance spectral features were assigned to the e-hh transitions with Δn=0. The transition energies were determined and compared to their values calculated within the envelope function approximation. Assuming that one third of the total strain in the central In_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As layer is relaxed by biaxial deformation of surrounding thin GaAs layers, it is possible to explain reasonably the results of our photoreflectance experiment.
