چکیده

We have investigated the midinfrared unipolar photoluminescence in InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. Resonant emissions between confined levels are clearly observed at low temperature at around 10 mm wavelength. The unipolar emissions are polarized either in the layer plane or along the z growth axis of the quantum dots. The emissions are associated with hole transitions that involve the ground and the excited hole states. The quenching due to Pauli blocking of the unipolar emission lines involving the hole ground state is observed when this state is completely filled. An intradot nonradiative lifetime t'25 ps is deduced for the different levels from the midinfrared emitted power. @S0163-1829~99!14947-6#

Room temperature midinfrared electroluminescence from InAs quantum dots

We demonstrate room temperature midinfrared electroluminescence from intersublevel transitions in self-assembled InAs quantum dots. The dots are grown in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures designed to maximize current injection into dot excited states while preferentially removing electrons from the ground states. As such, these devices resemble quantum cascade lasers. However, rigorous modeling of c...

The influence of temperature on the photoluminescence properties of single InAs quantum dots grown on patterned GaAs

We report the temperature-dependent photoluminescence of single site-controlled and self-assembled InAs quantum dots. We have used nanoimprint lithography for patterning GaAs(100) templates and molecular beam epitaxy for quantum dot deposition. We show that the influence of the temperature on the photoluminescence properties is similar for quantum dots on etched nanopatterns and randomly positi...

Size distribution effects on self-assembled InAs quantum dots

We report on the unusual behaviors of the optical properties for self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) by using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Distinctive double-emission QD peaks are observed in the PL spectra of the samples grown on high growth-temperature condition. From the excitation power-dependent and temperature-dependent PL measurements, these doubleemission peaks are assoc...

Photoluminescence characteristics of InAs self-assembled quantum dots in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well

Three different InAs quantum dots QDs in an InGaAs/GaAs quantum well were formed and investigated by time-resolved and temperature dependent photoluminescence PL . A strong PL signal emitting at 1.3 m can be obtained at room temperature with a full width at half maximum of only 28 meV. Dots-in-a-well structures result in strong stress release and large size InAs QDs which lead to narrowing and ...

Midinfrared absorption and photocurrent spectroscopy of InAsÕGaAs self-assembled quantum dots

We report on a comparison between the midinfrared absorption and the photocurrent response of n-doped InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots. The absorption, resonant at 160 meV, is polarized along the z growth axis of the dots. The photocurrent is dominated by a z-polarized resonance around 220 meV ~5.6 mm wavelength!. A weaker component of the photocurrent is observed for an in-plane polarized...
