Spatial Inhomogeneity of Photoluminescence in InGaN Single Quantum Well Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
Spatial distribution of photoluminescence (PL) spectra has been assessed in an InGaN single quantum well (SQW) structure by means of fluorescence microscopy and scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) under illumination-collection mode. The PL intensity of fluorescence image is uniform at 77 K, but the dark spot areas were extended with increasing temperature. The nearfield PL images revealed the variation of both peak energy and intensity in PL spectra according to the probing location with the scale less than a few hundreds nm.

Sub-microscopic transient lens spectroscopy of InGaN/GaN quantum wells
Transient lens (TL) spectroscopy was developed with sub-micrometer spatial resolution to observe the temporal and special behavior of the nonradiative processes of carrier dynamics in InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QW). We have observed the carrier density dynamics and the thermal dynamics in the TL signals with a nanosecond pulsed laser. We have also observed TL and photoluminescence (PL) signals by...
متن کاملCharacterization of high-quality InGaN/GaN multiquantum wells with time-resolved photoluminescence
Recombination in single quantum well and multiquantum well InGaN/GaN structures is studied using time-resolved photoluminescence and pulsed photoluminescence measurements. Room-temperature measurements show a rapid lifetime ~0.06 ns! for a single quantum well structure, while an increasingly long decay lifetime is measured for multiquantum wells as more quantum wells are incorporated into the s...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence microscopy of InGaN quantum wells
Submicron spatial resolution photoluminescence is used to assess radiative efficiency and spatial uniformity of GaN/InGaN heterojunctions. Room temperature photoluminescence of multiple InGaN quantum wells with GaN barriers fabricated by electron-cyclotron resonance assisted molecular beam epitaxy was measured as a function of position on a facet perpendicular to the layer structure. Our high r...

We present investigations of the optical properties of stacked InGaN quantum dot layers and demonstrate their advantage over single quantum dot layer structures. Measurements were performed on structures containing a single layer with quantum dots or threefold stacked quantum dot layers, respectively. A superlinear increase of the quantum dot related photoluminescence is detected with increasin...
