Parameter-dependent resonant third-order susceptibility contributed by inter-band transitions in quantum wells

The resonance enhancement of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ⁽³⁾ for degenerated four-wave mixing, due to the transition between valence band and conduction band, in InGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells have been calculated. The band structures of valence bands and conduction bands and the wave functions are calculated by the theory of effective mass. The contributions of the subbands of holes (heavy holes, light holes and the spin-orbit split-off bands) to χ⁽³⁾ in the different directions are discussed. The correlations between χ⁽³⁾ in the different directions and the width of the quantum wells, and the constituents of the quantum wells are obtained.     

Observation of confined states in anIn0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48Asmulti-quantum wells structure by quantum confined Stark effects

Photocurrent spectra in an In_0.53Ga_0.47As /In_0.52Al_0.48As multi-quantum wells structure containing 9.4 nm wide wells were measured at room temperature in electric fields. The exciton peaks of ground-state transitions shifted fairly in 167 kV cm ^− 1as the quantum confined Stark effect. Stark shifts were calculated by using the Runge–Kutta method using the effective mass equation with our experimental band parameters. Our parameters are the hole effective masses and valence band offset derived from saturation of a highest eigen energy, electron effective mass depending on energies and the conduction band offset derived from observed quantum number. It was possible to sufficiently use our experimental band parameters for the calculation of the Stark shift in the electric field.

Growth and properties of wide spectral white light emitting diodes

Wide spectral white light emitting diodes have been designed and grown on a sapphire substrate by using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition system. Three quantum wells with blue-light-emitting, green-light-emitting and red-light-emitting structures were grown according to the design. The surface morphology of the film was observed by using atomic force microscopy. The films were characterized by their photoluminescence measurements. X-ray diffraction θ/2θ scan spectroscopy was carried out on the multi-quantum wells. The secondary fringes of the symmetric ω/2θ X-ray diffraction scan peaks indicate that the thicknesses and the alloy compositions of the individual quantum wells are repeatable throughout the active region. The room temperature photoluminescence spectra of the structures indicate that the white light emission of the multi-quantum wells is obtained. The light spectrum covers 400-700 nm, which is almost the whole visible light spectrum.     

Temperature dependence of the cyclotron mass in ZnCdSe/ZnSe multi-QWs

The temperature dependence of the cyclotron resonance mass (CRM) of the magnetopolaron in ZnCdSe/ZnSe multi-quantum wells with strong magnetic field is investigated theoretically using the Lee-Low-Pines variational method. The contributions to the CRM due to the nonparabolicity of the conduction band and the coupling of electron with both confined longitudinal optical and interface optical phonons are considered. Results of our calculations are compared with the experimental data, and a qualitative agreement is found over a large temperature range. We show that these three contributions complement each other to determine the cyclotron mass as a function of the temperature.     

Nonparabolic tendency of electron effective mass estimated by confined states in In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As multi-quantum-well structures

We observed that a series of peaks, which were clearly extracted from a photocurrent difference spectrum, corresponded to interband optical transitions of an In_0.53Ga_0.47As /In_0.52Al_0.48As multi-quantum wells structure. The nonparabolic tendency of the electron effective mass was suggested from eigenenergies of conduction subbands. The effective mass estimated in a direction normal to the InGaAs quantum well plane was heavier than the effective mass of the bulk band edge and was 0.07 m₀at the top of a quantum potential well.

Dependence of femtosecond time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr rotation on the direction of polarization of the probe beam

We demonstrate that the femtosecond time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr rotation oscillates with the direction of polarization of the probe beam when a sample of Al0.25Ga0.75As/GaAs multi-quantum wells is excited by a circularly polarized pump and detected by a linearly polarized probe at wavelengths from 800 to 830 nm. Analytical expressions are derived to explain the mechanism, which is in good agreement with the numerical computation and the experimental data. The results suggest that the Kerr signal can ...     

Quantum well intermixing of multiple quantum wells on InP by argon plasma bombardment and the sputtered-SiO2 film

A quantum well intermixing process combining inductively-coupled-plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) and SiO₂ sputtering film was investigated for the InGaAsP and InGaAlAs multi-quantum wells (MQWs). Optimal distance is 300-nm-thick for InGaAsP and of 200-nm-thick for InGaAlAs. Between MQWs and the upper cladding by ICP-RIE and bombardment, covering the 300-nm-thick sputtered SiO₂ using rapid thermal annealer (RTA) processing resulted in a band-gap blue-shift of 90 nm for InGaAsP and of 60 nm for InGaAlAs.     

Probing nonparabolic conduction subbands in nanoscale InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells with cyclotron resonance in very high magnetic fields

Nonparabolicity of conduction subbands in nanoscale potential wells has been probed using InGaAs/InAlAs multi-quantum well structures. From cyclotron resonance absorption at a wavelength of 119 μm, the apparent mass ratio was found to be 0.061 near the bottom of the ground subband. From cyclotron resonance absorption at a wavelength of 10.6 μm, the apparent mass ratio of high-energy electrons was found to be 0.066–0.067, which was higher than the bulk bandedge mass ratio, 0.041. Evidence of the two-dimensional conduction subbands was examined by an interband absorbance spectrum.

Shot noise suppression in a series graphene tunnel barrier structure

The shot noise properties in a graphene-based multi-quantum well structure are investigated theoretically. It is found that when the number of the potential barriers (quantum wells) is big enough and the width of the barriers and the wells is shorter than the mean free path, another Dirac-like point at which the Fermi energy equals half of the barrier height appears. The transport is almost forbidden at this new Dirac-like point, the conductivity gets the minimum, and the Fano factor approaches 1/3. With the random potential barrier being taken into consideration, the conductance enhances clearly, meanwhile the Fano factor is suppressed much more.     

Ⅲ–Ⅴ/Si Hybrid Laser Array with DBR on Si Waveguide

We report an eight-channel silicon evanescent laser array operating at continuous wave under room temperature conditions using the selective-area metal bonding technique.The laser array is realized by evanescentl.y coupling the optical gain of InGaAsP multi-quantum wells to the silicon waveguides of varying widths and patterned with distributed Bragg reflector gratings.The lasers have emission peak wavelengths in a range of 1537-1543 nm with a wavelength spacing of about 1.0 nm.The thermal impedances Z_T of these hybrid lasers are evidently lower than those DFB counterparts     

Giant optical anisotropy in semiconductor heterostructures with no-common atom

Due to their reduced symmetry no-common atom heterostructures are expected to present in-plane anistropic features. We report polarization-resolved optical transmission measurements performed on GaInAs–InP multi-quantum wells evidencing a large dichroïsm. A linear dependence of this anistoropy on an electric field has also been observed, giving rise to the quantum confined Pockels Effect. All these intrinsic results which are forbidden by the usual envelope function theory compare fairly well with the predictions of the recently proposed model.     

Effect of annealing on photoluminescence and microstructures of InGaN／GaN multi-quantum well with Mg-doped p-type GaN

InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well structure with Mg-doped p-type GaN was grown by low-pressure metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy. After rapid-thermal-annealing at 700 and 900${^\circ}$C, both the red-shift and the blue-shift of the photoluminescence (PL) peak, the decreased and the enhancement of the PL intensity were observed. The transmission electron microscopic images showed that InGaN multi-quantum-dots-like (MQD-like) structures with dimensions less than 5$\tm$10nm were formed in InGaN wells. The changes of PL spectra could be tentatively attributed to the competition between the red-shift mechanism of the quantum-confined Stark effect and the blue-shift mechanism of the quantum size effect due to MQD-like structures.

Optoelectronic transport mechanism from subband infrared absorption and tunneling regeneration

The main problems of conventional multi-quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) were discussed. In order to overcome the limitations of the conventional QWIPs, such as small photocurrent, high dark current and low response speed, novel QWIPs in which photocurrent increases with the number of well were proposed. The novel structure with several wells were calculated and analyzed in detail, and successfully fabricated. The dark current lower than conventional QWIPs by about one order of magnitude was obtained, well in agreement with theoretical value. I–V characteristics of the novel QWIPs with six wells has been presented, and six related negative differential resistance regions were observed at positive bias. The absorption photocurrents of the novel QWIPs at 77 K were found to increase with well numbers, confirming the mechanism of the new structure. Furthermore, the transportation of the optoelectronic and some other problems of the QWIPs were discussed.

Spectrum analysis of interband optical transmissions and quantitative model of eigen-energies and absorptions in In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As multi-quantum well structures

Interband transmission spectra were measured for three In_0.53Ga_0.47As/In_0.52Al_10.48As multi-quantum well specimens having different carrier concentrations by modulation-doping. Spectral shapes of transmissions were clear steplike structures but exciton peaks of first order transitions were masked with the carrier concentrations. The spectral shapes changed hardly between 100 and 310 K. Using our parameters of quantum wells, calculated eigen-energies for three specimens agreed with experiments and absorption coefficients reproduced experimental transmission spectra at any temperature.
