非对称耦合量子阱的吸收非线性增强

基于V 形三能级模型运用密度矩阵方程推导了非对称耦合量子阱三阶光学非线性极化率. 具体分析了三阶吸收非线性效率（三阶光学非线性极化率与线性吸收系数之比）随阱间电子相干振荡频率的变化规律. 理论结果表明：三阶吸收非线性效率对阱间电子相干振荡频率相当敏感，当阱间电子相干振荡频率增大时三阶吸收非线性效率显著增强，而当阱间电子相干振荡频率为零时，这种非线性效率类似于单量子阱情况. 与单量子阱相比，对于已设计好的非对称耦合量子阱结构其突出特征表现在，其非线性吸收与色散特性可经由沿材料生长方向偏压进行控制. 据此，我们预期利用这种非对称耦合量子阱结构能设计成光通信中的光限幅器和可控克尔光开关.

Photoluminescence study of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well with Si-doped InGaN electron-emitting Layer

InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structure with Si-doped InGaN electron-emitting layer (EEL) was grown by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition and their characteristics were evaluated by photoluminescence (PL) measurements. In a typical structure, a low indium composition and wide potential well was used to be an EEL, and a six-fold MQW was used to be an active layer where the injected carriers recombine. By comparing the PL spectral characteristics of the MQW samples, the PL intensity of MQW with EEL is about 10 times higher than that of typical MQW. Experimental results indicate that the high electron capture rate of the MQW active region can be achieved by employing EEL.     

DYNAMICS OF CARRIER CAPTURE IN AlGaAs/GaAs MULTIPLE QUANTUM WELLS

Dynamics of carrier relaxation and capture in AlGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells (MQW) at 80 K is studied using picosecond luminescence and femtosecond absorption saturation measurements. Carriers generated in the wells and in the barriers scatter initially out of the excited states to a quasi-equilibrium state in 35 and 400 femtoseconds, respectively, before they are captured into the bound states of the quantum wells. Carrier capture occurs during carrier cooling and recombination. A carrier capture time of 25 ps has been deduced from time-resolved luminescence.

Carrier transport effects on the photocurrent spectra of an intrinsic GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well with highly doped AlGaAs contact layers

In this study, we demonstrate how electroreflectance (ER) measurements as a function of bias, and of angle of incidence (θ₀), together with bias dependent photocurrent (PC) measurements, can be used to provide understanding of the complex electric field profile and carrier transport effects in a GaAs/Al_0.3Ga_0.7As multiple quantum well (MQW), grown inside n⁺ contact layers. The PC measurements exhibit split excitonic features, the components of which change in strength with the applied bias. The effect is explained by absorption in the front of the MQW stack, with the back of the stack acting as detector. We examine the θ₀-dependence of the ER lineshape, to determine the depth of the layers responsible for each feature. The ER and PC lineshapes and their bias dependence are explained by the unusual electric field profile across the stack. The field profile appears to be determined by tunnelling of the dark current.     

Effect of Interface Roughness and Dislocation Density on Electroluminescence Intensity of InGaN Multiple Quantum Wells

Effects of interface roughness and dislocation density on the electroluminescence (EL) intensity of InGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are investigated. It is found that the EL intensity increases with the number of satellite peaks in the x-ray diffraction experiments of InGaN MQW samples. It is indicated that the rough interface will lead the reduction of EL intensity of InGaN MQW samples. It is also found that the EL intensity increases with the decrease of dislocation density which is characterized by the x-ray diffraction measurements. It is suggested that the EL intensity of InGaN MQWs can be improved by decreasing the interface roughness and dislocation density.     

Efficiency droop suppression in GaN-based light-emitting diodes by chirped multiple quantum well structure at high current injection

Gallium nitride(Ga N) based light-emitting diodes(LEDs) with chirped multiple quantum well(MQW) structures have been investigated experimentally and numerically in this paper. Compared to conventional LEDs with uniform quantum wells(QWs), LEDs with chirped MQW structures have better internal quantum efficiency(IQE) and carrier injection efficiency. The droop ratios of LEDs with chirped MQW structures show a remarkable improvement at 600 m A/mm2,reduced down from 28.6%(conventional uniform LEDs) to 23.7%(chirped MQWs-a) and 18.6%(chirped MQWs-b),respectively. Meanwhile, the peak IQE increases from 76.9%(uniform LEDs) to 83.7%(chirped MQWs-a) and 88.6%(chirped MQWs-b). The reservoir effect of chirped MQW structures is the significant reason as it could increase hole injection efficiency and radiative recombination. The leakage current and Auger recombination of chirped MQW structures can also be suppressed. Furthermore, the chirped MQWs-b structure with lower potential barriers can enhance the reservoir effect and obtain further improvement of the carrier injection efficiency and radiative recombination, as well as further suppressing efficiency droop.     

Intra-acceptor hole relaxation in Be δ-doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells

This paper studies the dynamics of intra-acceptor hole relaxation in Be δ -doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells (MQW) with doping at the centre by time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy using a picosecond free electron laser for infrared experiments. Low temperature far-infrared absorption measurements clearly show three principal absorption lines due to transitions of the Be acceptor from the ground state to the first three odd-parity excited states respectively. The pump-probe experiments are performed at different temperatures and different pump pulse wavelengths. The hole relaxation time from 2p excited state to 1s ground state in MQW is found to be much shorter than that in bulk GaAs, and shown to be independent of temperature but strongly dependent on wavelength. The zone-folded acoustic phonon emission and slower decay of the wavefunctions of impurity states are suggested to account for the reduction of the 2p excited state lifetime in MQW. The wavelength dependence of the 2p lifetime is attributed to the diffusion of the Be atom δ -layer in quantum wells.
