Abstract
The phonon modes in GaInAs-InP heterostructures were studied by means of Raman scattering. The mode frequencies were found to occur at the bulk values and to be well-defined even for layers of 25A. The phonon intensity ratios were found to depend very strongly on the incident laser power and we attribute this to screening of the modes by photoexcited carriers.
