Carrier dynamics in p-type InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study we investigate the carrier relaxation dynamics in p-type doped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots using time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence. The experiment shows that while a strong phonon bottleneck is observed in the undoped samples, with a 680 ps rise time of the photoluminescence intensity, the intra-dot relaxation time (31 ps) of the p-type doped samples is reduced significantly due to scattering of photoexcited electrons with the doping-induced holes.

Ultrafast carrier dynamics in an InAs/InGaAs quantum dots-in-a-well heterostructure.
Ultrafast differential transmission spectroscopy is used to explore temperature-dependent carrier dynamics in an InAs/InGaAs quantum dots-in-a-well heterostructure. Electron-hole pairs are optically injected into the three dimensional GaAs barriers, after which we monitor carrier relaxation into the two dimensional InGaAs quantum wells and the zero dimensional InAs quantum dots by tuning the pr...
متن کاملEnergy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...
متن کاملTime-resolved photoluminescence of type-II Ga(As)Sb/GaAs quantum dots embedded in an InGaAs quantum well.
Optical properties and carrier dynamics in type-II Ga(As)Sb/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an InGaAs quantum well (QW) are reported. A large blueshift of the photoluminescence (PL) peak is observed with increased excitation densities. This blueshift is due to the Coulomb interaction between physically separated electrons and holes characteristic of the type-II band alignment, along with a ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the ultrafast gain recovery in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots: Beyond a mean-field description
We measured the ultrafast gain recovery dynamics of the ground-state transition in an ensemble of electrically pumped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots having a nonequilibrium carrier distribution prepared by an optical prepump pulse. We find that the gain recovery dynamics after optical depletion by the prepump is faster than without prepump, an effect most pronounced at low temperature 15 K but observ...

We have investigated the ultra-fast carrier dynamics in Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE)-grown InAs/ InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) emitting at 1.3 lm by time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) upconversion measurements with a time resolution of about 200 fs. Changing the detection energies in the spectral region from the energy of the quantum dots excitonic transition up to the barrier layer absorp...
