Summary High magnetic and electric fields are used to investigate the excitonic properties of strain-balanced InGaAs coupled quantum wells, providing details of their band structure. The bands are strongly non-parabolic and the heavy in-plane hole mass deduced for a lattice-matched structure is shown to be reduced by either tensile or compressive strain. The different band-offsets on changing from InGaAs to AlInAs barriers modify the interwell coupling and result in the observation of Stark ladder transitions and conventional Stark effect behaviour, respectively.
