Asymmetrical double InAs/InAsSb/InAsSbP heterostructures are grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. Two types of light–emitting diodes (A and B) were created on basis of grown heterostructures with emission peak at 4.1 µm and 4.7 µm, respectively. The current–voltage and electroluminescent characteristics of light–emitting diodes are investigated at room temperature. When operating at 50 % duty cycle mode (frequency − 512 Hz) with a current of 250 mA, light–emitting diodes A and B produced the optical power of 24 μW and 15 μW, respectively. Under the pulse operation (frequency − 512 Hz, duration − 1 μs) with a current of 2.1 A, the optical power of light–emitting diodes А and B reached the values of 158 μW and 76 μW, respectively. The developed light–emitting diodes can be used as high-effective radiation sources in optical absorption sensors for detection of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
