We present surface photo-voltage (SPV) measurements on molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown single quantum well (SQW) laser structures. Each layer in the hetero-structure has been identified by measurement of the SPV signal after a controlled sequential chemical etching process. These results have been correlated with high resolution x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Quantum confined Stark effect and the carrier screening of electric field have been taken into consideration both theoretically and experimentally to account for the differences observed in SPV and PL results. It is shown that SPV can be used as a very effective tool for evaluation of hetero-structures involving multiple layers.
