“…1. The resolved spectral features have been verified simultaneously by photoluminescence, reflectance and transmittance spectroscopies [11]. The strong internal electric field induced Franz-Keldysh oscillation (FKO) features above the band gap energy of GaAs are omitted for clear viewing of the quantum well transitions.…”

“…[2][3][4] Previous research studies have reported the deterioration of the optical property and surface roughness in InGaAsN QWs grown after the Al-contained alloy in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) 4) and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) 2,3) systems. A few methods, such as those involving the use of an Al-free MBE system 5) and InGaP cladding layers, 6) and two-step growth, 7) have been proposed to solve this problem. However, the Al-free structure makes the fabrication of VCSELs very difficult, and two-step growth is time consuming.…”
The performance characteristics of InGaAsN quantum well (QW) lasers with and without trimethylantimony (TMSb) preflow have been studied. The TMSb preflow before the growth of InGaAsN QWs can suppress the Al-contamination effect and decrease the threshold current density compared with conventional InGaAsN QW lasers without preflow. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity increased and linewidth decreased when TMSb flow rate increased. According to the atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurement, the surface roughness was also reduced significantly after TMSb treatment which manifested that the preflow prevented the Al and N precursors from reacting with each other and resulted in a higher optical quality in InGaAsN QWs.
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.
