Abstract :
It is found a new class of heterostructures named as continuous band heterostructures (CBHs), for which discontinuity for one of bands is zero. Requirements of lattice matching and zero discontinuity produces three classes of possible solutions for material compounds are possible: point solutions for binary/quaternary and ternary/ternary heterojunctions, line solutions for ternary/quaternary and area solutions for higher order compounds such as quaternary/quaternary. In the paper, the procedure of line solutions analytical definition is described. Main characteristics in point of view of CBHs application for conducting DBRs are calculated. Comparison with conventional DBRs is carried out. It is shown decreasing of both optical and electrical losses
