ABSTRACT = {The study of confined quantum systems exhibit distinct behavior compared to that in bulk 
solids. This enables the design of materials with tunable chemical, physical, electrical and 
optical properties. In this paper, the effect of quantum confinement energy on the optical 
properties (gap energy, refractive index) of semiconductors gallium nitrate (GaN) and zinc 
sulfide (ZnS) is studied. The study is done using the MATLAB computer program (20a). 
This software is based on the Brus model and the particle in-a-box model. The results 
indicate that the optical properties depend on the quantum confinement energy, with an 
increase in quantum confinement energy corresponding to an increase in the energy gap 
and a decrease in refractive index.},
