High quality above 3-μm mid-infrared InGaAsSb/AlGaInAsSb multiple-quantum well grown by molecular beam epitaxy

The GaSb-based laser shows its superiority in the 3–4 μm wavelength range. However, for a quantum well(QW) laser structure of InGaAsSb/AlGaInAsSb multiple-quantum well(MQW) grown on GaSb, uniform content and high compressive strain in InGaAsSb/AlGaInAsSb are not easy to control. In this paper, the influences of the growth temperature and compressive strain on the photoluminescence(PL) property of a 3.0-μm InGaAsSb/AlGaInAsSb MQW sample are analyzed to optimize the growth parameters. Comparisons among the PL spectra of the samples indicate that the In0.485GaAs0.184Sb/Al0.3Ga0.45In0.25As0.22Sb0.78MQW with 1.72% compressive strain grown at 460 C posseses the optimum optical property. Moreover, the wavelength range of the MQW structure is extended to 3.83 μm by optimizing the parameters.     

Spin Relaxation of Electrons in Single InAs Quantum Dots

By using polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectra, we study the electron spin relaxation in single InAs quantum dots （QDs） with the configuration of positively charged excitons X＋ （one electron, two holes）. The spin relaxation rate of the hot electrons increases with the increasing energy of exciting photons. For electrons localized in QDs the spin relaxation is induced by hyperfine interaction with the nuclei. A rapid decrease of polarization degree with increasing temperature suggests that the spin relaxation mechanisms are mainly changed from the hyperfine interaction with nuclei into an electron-hole exchange interaction.     

Very long wavelength infrared focal plane arrays with 50% cutoff wavelength based on type-Ⅱ In As/GaSb superlattice

A very long wavelength infrared(VLWIR) focal plane array based on In As/Ga Sb type-Ⅱ super-lattices is demonstrated on a Ga Sb substrate. A hetero-structure photodiode was grown with a 50% cut-off wavelength of 15.2 μm, at 77 K.A 320×256 VLWIR focal plane array with this design was fabricated and characterized. The peak quantum efficiency without an antireflective coating was 25.74% at the reverse bias voltage of-20 mV, yielding a peak specific detectivity of 5.89×1010cm·Hz~(1/2)·W~(-1). The operability and the uniformity of response were 89% and 83.17%. The noise-equivalent temperature difference at 65 K exhibited a minimum at 21.4 mK, corresponding to an average value of 56.3 mK.     

Optimization of wide band mesa-type enhanced terahertz photoconductive antenna at 1550 nm

A mesa-type enhanced InGaAs/InAlAs multilayer heterostructure(MLHS) terahertz photoconductive antenna(PCA)at 1550 nm is demonstrated on an InP substrate. The InGaAs/InAlAs superlattice multilayer heterostructures are grown and studied with different temperatures and thickness ratios of InGaAs/InAlAs. The PCAs with different gap sizes and pad sizes are fabricated and characterized. The PCAs are evaluated as THz emitters in a THz time domain spectrometer and we measure the optimized THz bandwidth in excess of 2 THz.

A method to obtain ground state electroluminescence from 1.3μm emitting InAs/GaAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy

1.3μm emitting InAs/GaAs quantum dots(QDs) have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy and QD light emitting diodes(LEDs) have been fabricated.In the electroluminescence spectra of QD LEDs,two clear peaks corresponding to the ground state emission and the excited state emission are observed.It was found that the ground state emission could be achieved by increasing the number of QDs contained in the active region because of the state filling effect.This work demonstrates a way to control and tune the emitting wavelength of QD LEDs and lasers.
