There are experimental observations indicating a need for the revision of intersubband selection rules in D/sub 2d/ non-centrosymmetric quantum wells (QWs). These observations include (i) the (x,y)-polarized (TE) activities in narrow QWs, (ii) the (x,y)-(TE) and z-(TM) polarized splittings in strained QWs, and (iii) surface-emission of second harmonics generated by using x- and z-polarized intersubband transitions. In this paper we find it crucial to include the band-mixing effects of /spl Gamma//sup c//sub 15/-/spl Gamma//sup v//sub 15/ and /spl Gamma//sup c//sub 15/-/spl Gamma//sup c//sub 15/ coupling in calculating intersubband transition matrix elements. These two terms are essential to resolve the issues of intersubband TE(x,y)-polarization activities and strain-induced splittings. We find excellent agreement between experimental observations and theoretical investigation.
