Within a semi-classical model and using the Dirac-like equation in the presence of light interaction as a perturbation, we obtained the governing Hamiltonian. Using this Hamiltonian, we derived a fully analytical relationship for the absorption coefficient of the structure. By calculating the effective mass for different bands and using the Drude-Lorentz model, our approach is able to determine the oscillator strength and the effective refractive index of the structure. We found that the spin\u2013orbit coupling has important effect on the absorption coefficient and energy bands where it reduces the absorption coefficient of the structure from typical value of <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$11.54 ({10}^{5}{\\mathrm{cm}}^{-1})$$<\/jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                  <mml:mrow>\n                    <mml:mn>11.54<\/mml:mn>\n                    <mml:mo>(<\/mml:mo>\n                    <mml:msup>\n                      <mml:mrow>\n                        <mml:mn>10<\/mml:mn>\n                      <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <mml:mn>5<\/mml:mn>\n                    <\/mml:msup>\n                    <mml:msup>\n                      <mml:mrow>\n                        <mml:mi>cm<\/mml:mi>\n                      <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <mml:mrow>\n                        <mml:mo>-<\/mml:mo>\n                        <mml:mn>1<\/mml:mn>\n                      <\/mml:mrow>\n                    <\/mml:msup>\n                    <mml:mo>)<\/mml:mo>\n                  <\/mml:mrow>\n                <\/mml:math><\/jats:alternatives><\/jats:inline-formula>\u2013<jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$5.937({10}^{5}{\\mathrm{cm}}^{-1})$$<\/jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                  <mml:mrow>\n                    <mml:mn>5.937<\/mml:mn>\n                    <mml:mo>(<\/mml:mo>\n                    <mml:msup>\n                      <mml:mrow>\n                        <mml:mn>10<\/mml:mn>\n                      <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <mml:mn>5<\/mml:mn>\n                    <\/mml:msup>\n                    <mml:msup>\n                      <mml:mrow>\n                        <mml:mi>cm<\/mml:mi>\n                      <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <mml:mrow>\n                        <mml:mo>-<\/mml:mo>\n                        <mml:mn>1<\/mml:mn>\n                      <\/mml:mrow>\n                    <\/mml:msup>\n                    <mml:mo>)<\/mml:mo>\n                  <\/mml:mrow>\n                <\/mml:math><\/jats:alternatives><\/jats:inline-formula>, also the valence band experiences a significant blue shift, while the conduction band shows minor changes due to spin orbit coupling.
