Photoluminescence Upconversion in GaAs Quantum Wells
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a detailed experimental study of photoluminescence upconversion in GaAs quantum wells over a wide temperature range. The dependence of the upconversion on the well width is discussed and the conversion efficiency is determined as a function of laser detuning. The best results are achieved when the laser detuning is comparable to the thermal energy of the system, ∆E ≈ 2kBT .

متن کاملPhotoluminescence properties of a quantum system consisting of different size GaAs quantum wells
Photoluminescence properties of a quantum system consisting of four different size GaAs quantum wells (Lz=15, 7, 4.5 and 3 nm) clad by 50 nm thick Al0.24Ga0.76As barriers have been investigated by steady-state and time-resolved (TR) photoluminescence (PL) experiments at 13-300 K. It is found that the low temperature PL emission energy distribution is not uniform over the four excitonic emission...
متن کاملInvestigation of temperature-dependent photoluminescence in multi-quantum wells
Photoluminescence (PL) is a nondestructive and powerful method to investigate carrier recombination and transport characteristics in semiconductor materials. In this study, the temperature dependences of photoluminescence of GaAs-AlxGa1-xAs multi-quantum wells samples with and without p-n junction were measured under both resonant and non-resonant excitation modes. An obvious increase of photol...

We have investigated the optical properties of unstrained GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs quantum dot/well systems with the aim of studying the influence of confinement on the effective exciton mass, as determined from the photoluminescence line shift in high magnetic fields 50 T . The effective exciton mass is found to be more than twice the value for bulk GaAs. We attribute this to an enhanced nonparabolicit...
متن کاملInhibited recombination of negatively-charged excitons in GaAs quantum wells at high magnetic ®elds
We have studied time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) from negatively-charged excitons (Xÿ) in GaAs quantum wells at high magnetic ®elds. The PL decay time of Xÿ showed large increase in magnetic ®elds perpendicular to the well layers. This results from a reduction of coherence volume when the translational motion of charged Xÿ is con®ned by cyclotron orbit. In contrast, no such increase was see...
