Characterization of Gallium Indium Phosphide and Progress of Aluminum Gallium Indium Phosphide System Quantum-Well Laser Diode

چکیده
Highly ordered gallium indium phosphide layers with the low bandgap have been successfully grown on the (100) GaAs substrates, the misorientation toward [01-1] direction, using the low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition method. It is found that the optical properties of the layers are same as those of the disordered ones, essentially different from the ordered ones having two orientations towards [1-11] and [11-1] directions grown on (100) gallium arsenide substrates, which were previously reported. The bandgap at 300 K is 1.791 eV. The value is the smallest ever reported, to our knowledge. The high performance transverse stabilized AlGaInP laser diodes with strain compensated quantum well structure, which is developed in 1992, have been successfully obtained by controlling the misorientation angle and directions of GaAs substrates. The structure is applied to quantum dots laser diodes. This paper also describes the development history of the quantum well and the quantum dots laser diodes, and their future prospects.

Luminescence Enhancement in Polymer/Nanoparticle Composite Electro-Optic Devices
Numerous technical advances in the area of polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) have been made since their discovery in 1990 by Friend et al at Cambridge University . PLEDs are derivatives from the more commonly known LED (light emitting diode) devices. LEDs are solid-state semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy into light. They are typically used as indicator lights and numeric ...

Indium phosphide, gallium arsenide phosphide, and aluminum indium phosphide have been deposited by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy using tertiarybutylphosphine and tertiarybutylarsine. The effects of growth temperature and V/III ratio on the amount of silicon, sulfur, carbon, and oxygen in InP have been determined. Minimum incorporation was observed at 565 1C and a V/III ratio of 32. In this c...
