InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in tensile-strained GaAs1−xPx (x=0.0–0.45) barrier layers are grown using low-pressure metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition. Variable-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurement demonstrates that the lowest-energy QD transition can be blueshifted up to 90nm compared with similar structures utilizing GaAs barriers. Temperature-dependent PL measurements and atomic force microscopy surface imaging show that the InGaAs QDs grown on GaAsP exhibit reduced height, which is consistent with shorter-wavelength emission. Preliminary results from broad stripe (100μm wide) diode lasers utilizing two stacks of InGaAs QDs embedded in GaAs0.82P0.18 barriers exhibit a 30% reduction in threshold current density compared with similar laser structures which have GaAs barriers.
