Optoelectronic properties of heteronanostructures with combined layers of In(Ga)As/GaAs quantum wells and dots

The effect of the incorporation of an InGaAs quantum well into structures with InAs/GaAs quantum dots grown by gas-phase epitaxy on their optoelectronic properties is analyzed in the mode with increased growth-interruption time. It is established that the quantum-dot energy spectrum is weakly sensitive to variations in the thickness and composition of the double InGaAs/GaAs coating layer. The deposition of a quantum well onto a layer of quantum dots decreases the emission-barrier effective height in them. The conditions under which the quantum well can be used for protecting the quantum-dot active layer against penetration by defects generated during structure-surface anodic oxidation are determined.

Optical investigation of piezoelectric field effects on excitonic properties in (111)B-grown (In, Ga)As/GaAs quantum wells

The excitonic properties in two (111)B-grown In_0·15Ga_0·85As/GaAs multiple quantum well p-i-n diodes are investigated by thermally-detected optical absorption and electroreflectance rneasurements. The lineshape of the electroreflectance spectra is analysed by means of a multilayer model enabling the energies and the oscillator strengths of excitonic transitions to be deduced. The excitonic characteristic values are calculated by using a variational method. The determination of the variation of the binding energy with in-well field leads to an accurate value of the piezoelectric field in the InGaAs layers. The theoretical oscillator strengths are compared to those obtained from electroreflectance for different excitonic transitions.     

Modeling and simulation of InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers

Based on the analysis of carrier dynamics in quantum dots (QDs), the numerical model of InAs/GaAs QD laser is developed by means of complete rate equations. The model includes four energy levels and among them three energy levels join in lasing. A simulation is conducted by MATLAB according to the rate equation model we obtain. The simulation results of PI characteristic, gain characteristic and intensity modulation response are reasonable. Also, the relations between the left facet reflectivity of laser cavity and threshold current as well as modulation bandwidth are studied. It is indicated that the left facet reflectivity increasing can result in reduced threshold current and improved modulation bandwidth, which is in accordance with experimental results. The internal mechanism of QD lasers is fully described with the rate equation model, which is helpful for QD lasers research.

InAs/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetector (QDIP) with double Al/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/As blocking barriers

The ten stacked self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIP) with different Al/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/As barrier widths and growth temperatures were prepared. Asymmetric current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and 2/spl sim/7.5 /spl mu/m detection window were observed. Peak responsivity of 84 mA/W at -0.4 V and peak specific detectivity of 2.5/spl times/10/sup 9/ cm-Hz/sup 1/2//W at zero bias were observed at 50 K. The characteristics of polarization insensitivity over the incident light and the high background photocurrent suggest that the self-assembled QDIP can be operated at higher temperature (/spl sim/250 K) under normal incidence condition in contrast to quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP).

Lateral ordering of quantum dots and wires in the (In,Ga)As/GaAs(100) multilayer structures

The surface morphology and optical properties of the (In,Ga)As/GaAs(100) multilayer structures with self-organized quantum dots and quantum wires, which were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy, are investigated. It is found that the ordered arrangement of quantum dots in the heterointerface plane starts to form during the growth of the first periods of the multilayer structure. As the number of periods increases, quantum dots line up in series and form wires along the \([0\bar 11]\) direction. An increase in the lateral ordering of the structures under consideration correlates with an increase in the optical emission anisotropy governed by relaxation anisotropy of elastic strains and by the shape of nano-objects. A possible mechanism of lateral ordering of quantum dots and wires in multilayer structures, which includes both anisotropy effects of the strain fields and adatom diffusion, as well as the elastic interaction of neighboring quantum dots, is discussed.
