Optical and Structural Properties of GaAs/GaInP Quantum Wells Grown by Chemical Beam Epitaxy

چکیده
In this work we investigated the optical and structural properties of GaAs/GaInP quantum wells (QW) grown by Chemical Beam Epitaxy (CBE). The samples were characterized by photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Simulations of the quantum well potential profiles, using the Van De Walle-Martin model, supplemented by our experimental results, allowed us to associate the interface properties with the growth procedures. We concluded that a thin GaP layer grown at the interface improves its quality and also that the observed broad emission band in the PL spectrum is related to quaternary Ga1−xInxAs1−yPy .

Optical properties of GaInP/GaAs:Er,O/GaInP double heterostructure (DH) laser diodes (LDs) grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) were investigated. The Er-doped LDs showed laser emission of the GaAs band-edge. The threshold current density (Jth) was 3.6 kA/cm on the n-type GaAs substrates and 15.8 kA/cm on the p-type at 77 K. The Er-doped LDs on the n-type substrate showed a stron...
