This value noticeably deviates from the 3:1 oscillator strength ratio known for optical transitions between free electron and hole states. This deviation originates from the different squeezing of the Xlh and Xhh wave functions due to distinct values of the effective masses of the Xlh and Xhh in the heterostructure.
