Abstract

Exciton and biexciton dynamics in a single self-assembled InAs/In0.53Ga0.23Al0.24As/InP(001) quantum dash emitting near 1.55 μm has been investigated by micro-photoluminescence and time-resolved micro-photoluminescence at T = 4.2 K. The exciton and biexciton fine structure splitting of ∼60 μeV, the biexciton binding energy of ∼3.5 meV, and the characteristic exciton and biexciton decay times of 2.0 ± 0.1 ns and 1.1 ± 0.1 ns, respectively, have been determined. The measurement of the biexciton and exciton cross-correlation statistics of the photon emission confirmed the cascaded relaxation process. The exciton-to-biexciton decay time ratio and a small fine structure splitting suggest carrier localization within the investigated quantum dash.
