The band structures of GenSim strained-layer superlattices on Si and Ge substrates were calcd. The superlattices with m + n = 10 on Ge substrate direct gap semiconductors. The orthorhombic nature of the superlattice with even n and m was discussed. The optical anisotropy and its relation with the growth direction was given.
