Relationship between the electric performance and the photoluminescence spectra of resonant tunnelling diodes

Resonant tunnelling diodes with different structures were grown. Their photoluminescence spectra were investigated. By contrast, the luminescence in the quantum well is separated from that of other epilayers. The result is obtained that the exciton of the luminescence in the quantum well is partly come from the cap layer in the experiment. So the photoluminescence spectrum is closely related to the electron transport in the resonant tunnelling diode structure. This offers a method by which the important performance of resonant tunnelling diode could be forecast by analysing the integrated photoluminescence intensities.

780nm InGaAsP/InGaP/AlGaAs高功率半导体激光器

采用MOCVD生长了InGaAsP/InGaP/AlGaAs材料系分别限制异质结构(SCH) 的高功率半导体激光器.对于厚度为10nm 的单量子阱,通过计算量子阱增益谱优化了器件的激射波长. 在室温下外延材料的荧光峰值波长为764nm,由于In原子的记忆效应(In carry-over effect)和As/P的替换作用使材料的InGaP/AlGaAs界面不陡峭,通过在InGaP/AlGaAs间长一层5nm的GaAsP大大改善了界面质量. 器件的阈值电流从界面改善前的560mA 减小到改善后的450mA, 斜率效率也从0.61W/A提高到了0.7W/A, 特别是单面最大输出功率已经从370mW 增加到了940mW,发生灾变性光学损伤时的工作电流已经由原来的1100mA 上升为1820mA.

Second-Order Raman Scattering from n- and p-Type 4H-SiC

The results of second-order Raman-scattering experiments on n- and p-type 4H-SiC are presented,covering the acoustic and the optical overtone spectral regions.Some of the observed structures in the spectra are assigned to particular phonon branches and the points in the Brillouin zone from which the scattering originates.There exists a doublet at 626/636cm-1 with energy difference about 10cm-1 in both n- and p-type 4H-SiC,which is similar to the doublet structure with the same energy difference founded in hexagonal GaN,ZnO, and AlN.The cutoff frequency at 1926cm-1 of the second-order Raman is not the overtone of the A1(LO) peak of the n-type doping 4H-SiC,but that of the undoping one.The second-order Raman spectrum of 4H-SiC can hardly be affected by doping species or doping density.
