In this paper, we propose a method for predicting the refractive index variation in InGaAlAs tunnel-coupled quantum wells under the action of an electric field. Complex of mathematical and experimental studies to optimize the heterosystems design forthe semiconductor modulator construction according to a planar Mach-Zehnder interferometer scheme is demonstrated. Keywords: Mach-Zehnder modulator, nanoheterostructure, quantum mechanical calculations, refractive index, transmission electron microscopy, photoelectric spectroscopy.
