The optical properties of these quantum wells are studied by using reflectance spectroscopy. The optical spectra reveal strong in-plane optical anisotropies, as predicted by group theory, and marked reflectance structures, as an evidence of good interface morphologies. Signatures ofc onfined excitons built from the spin-orbit split-off valence band, the analog of exciton C in bulk ZnO are detected in normal incidence reflectivity experiments using a photon polarized along the c axis of the wurtzite lattice. Experiments performed in the context of an orthogonal photon polarization, at 90° of this axis, reveal confined states analogs of A and B bulk excitons. Envelope function calculations which include excitonic interaction nicely account for the experimental report. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00553820v2/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00553820v2/file/Beaur-Arxiv-Relf_m_plane_ZnO_QWs.pdf %L hal-00553820 %U https://hal.science/hal-00553820 %~ UNICE %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-COTEDAZUR %~ ANR %~ CRHEA %~ UM-2015-2021
