Abstract

ABSTRACTSelf-organized InAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown in the Stranski-Krastanov regime, by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE), on (100) GaAs substrates. Two important parameters have been optimized in order to grow high quality QDs with a very good reproducibility: InAs growth rate and GaAs cap layer deposition rate. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis shows a unimodal QD distribution and the room temperature photoluminescence (RTPL) spectrum of the optimized sample reveals a 1.3 μm emission with a 19 meV full width at half maximum (FWHM). Photoluminescence (PL) measurements versus excitation power density and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements clearly show multi-component PL emission from transitions associated with fundamental and related excited states of QDs. Furthermore a good growth reproducibility is observed. The results are promising for further work which will lead to laser fabrication.
