Electronic structure and optical gain saturation of InAs1-xNx/GaAs quantum dots

The electronic band structures and optical gains of InAs1-xNx/GaAs pyramid quantum dots (QDs) are calculated using the ten-band k . p model and the valence force field method. The optical gains are calculated using the zero-dimensional optical gain formula with taking into consideration of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadenings due to the size fluctuation of quantum dots which follows a normal distribution. With the variation of QD sizes and nitrogen composition, it can be shown that the nitrogen composition and the strains can significantly affect the energy levels especially the conduction band which has repulsion interaction with nitrogen resonant state due to the band anticrossing interaction. It facilitates to achieve emission of longer wavelength (1.33 or 1.55 mu m) lasers for optical fiber communication system. For QD with higher nitrogen composition, it has longer emission wavelength and less detrimental effect of higher excited state transition, but nitrogen composition can affect the maximum gain depending on the factors of transition matrix element and the Fermi-Dirac distributions for electrons in the conduction bands and holes in the valence bands respectively. For larger QD, its maximum optical gain is greater at lower carrier density, but it is slowly surpassed by smaller QD as carrier concentration increases. Larger QD can reach its saturation gain faster, but this saturation gain is smaller than that of smaller QD. So the trade-off between longer wavelength, maximum optical, saturation gain, and differential gain must be considered to select the appropriate QD size according to the specific application requirement.

Morphology and wetting layer properties of InAs/GaAs nanostructures

In this work, we present the growth of InAs rings by droplet epitaxy. A complete process from the rings formation to their density saturation has been demonstrated: A morphological evolution with the varying of the indium deposition amount has been, clearly observed. Our results indicate that there, is a critical deposition amount (similar to 1.1 ML) for the indium to form InAs dots before droplets form; there is also a critical deposition amount (similar to 1.4 ML) to form InAs ring, but it is caused by the formation of droplets as the deposition amount increases. The density of the rings saturates when the deposition amount exceeds similar to 3.3 ML; because the adsorbed indium atoms block sites for further adsorption and the following supplied In only contributes to the size increase of In droplets. Still, as the In deposition amount increases, we can find coupled quantum rings. Moreover, the wetting layer properties of these structures are studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy, which shows a complicated evolution with the In amount.

Theoretical analysis of modal gain in p-doped 1.3 mu m InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers

A theoretical study of modal gain in p-doped 1.3 mu m InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) lasers is presented. The expression of modal gain is derived, which includes an effective ratio that describes how many QDs contribute to the modal gain. The calculated results indicate that the modal gain with the effective ratio is much smaller than that without the effective ratio. The calculated maximum modal gain is is a good agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, QDs with lower height or smaller aspect ratio are beneficial in achieving a larger maximum modal gain that leads to lower threshold current density and higher differential modal gain.

Evolution of wetting layers in InAs/GaAs quantum-dot system studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy

The wetting layers (WL) in InAs/GaAs quantum-dot system have been studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy (RDS), in which two structures related to the heavy-hole (HH) and light-hole (LH) transitions in the WL have been observed. The evolution and segregation behaviors of WL during Stranski-Krastanow (SK) growth mode have been studied from the analysis of the WL-related optical transition energies. It has been found that the segregation coefficient of Indium atoms varies linearly with the InAs amount in WL. In addition, the effect of the growth temperature on the critical thickness for InAs island formation has also been studied. The critical thickness defined by the appearance of InAs dots, which is determined by AFM, shows a complex variation with the growth temperature. However, the critical thickness determined by RDS is almost constant in the range of 510-540 degrees C.

Self-assembled GaAs quantum rings by MBE droplet epitaxy

Fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum dots (QDs), quantum rings (QRs) has been considered as the important step for realization of solid state quantum information devices, including QDs single photon emission source, QRs single electron memory unit, etc. To fabricate GaAs quantum rings, we use Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) droplet technique in this report. In this droplet technique, Gallium (Ga) molecular beams are supplied initially without Arsenic (As) ambience, forming droplet-like nano-clusters of Ga atoms on the substrate, then the Arsenic beams are supplied to crystallize the Ga droplets into GaAs crystals. Because the morphologies and dimensions of the GaAs crystal are governed by the interplay between the surface migration of Ga and As adatoms and their crystallization, the shape of the GaAs crystals can be modified into rings, and the size and density can be controlled by varying the growth temperatures and As/Ga flux beam equivalent pressures(BEPs). It has been shown by Atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements that GaAs single rings, concentric double rings and coupled double rings are grown successfully at typical growth temperatures of 200 C to 300 C under As flux (BEP) of about 1.0 x 10(-6) Torr. The diameter of GaAs rings is about 30-50 nm and thickness several nm.

Terahertz pulse generation with LT-GaAs photoconductive antenna

Low-temperature-grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) of 1-um thickness was grown at 250 degrees C on semi-insulating GaAs (001) substrate using EPI GEN-II solid-source MBE system. The sample was then in situ annealed for 10 min at 600 degrees C under As-rich condition. THz emitters were fabricated on this LTGaAs with three different photoconductive dipole antenna gaps of 1-mm, 3-mm, and 5-mm, respectively. The spectral bandwidth of 2.75 THz was obtaind with time domain spectroscopy. It is found that THz emission efficiency is increased with decreasing antenna gap. Two carrier lifetimes, 0.469 ps and 3.759 ps, were obtained with time-resolved transient reflection-type pump-probe spectroscopy.

Corrugated surfaces formed on GaAs (331)a substrates: The template for laterally ordered InGaAs nanowires

Morphology evolution of high-index (331)A surfaces during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth have been investigated in order to uncover their unique physic properties and fabricate spatially ordered low dimensional nanostructures. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) measurements have shown that the step height and terrace width of GaAs layers increase monotonically with increasing substrate temperature in conventional MBE. However, this situation is reversed in atomic hydrogen-assisted MBE, indicating that step bunching is partly suppressed. We attribute this to the reduced surface migration length of Ga adatoms with atomic hydrogen. By using the step arrays formed on GaAs (331)A surfaces as the templates, we fabricated laterally ordered InGaAs self-aligned nanowires.

Tuning of emission wavelength of InAs/GaAs quantum dots sandwiched by combination layers

We investigate about controlling of photoluminescence (PL) wavelengths of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) sandwiched with combination strained-buffer layer (CSBL) and combination strained-reducing layer (CSRL). The emission peak position of QDs is red-shifted to 1.37 mu m. The density of the QDs is increased to 1.17x10(10) cm(-2). It is indicated that optical properties of QDs could be improved by optimizing of the buffer and covering layers for the QDs. These results may provide a new way to further developing GaAs-based 1.3 mu m light sources.
