Abstract
A comparative combined study of photoluminescence (PL), PL kinetics, stimulated emission (SE) and photoreflectance (PR) properties in In x Ga 1− x N epilayers is carried out in the composition range 0≤ x≤0.19. In-incorporation up to 4% leads to the sufficient longer radiative recombination decay time due to the decrease in non-radiative recombination channels, which are peculiar to GaN, and band-to-band optical transitions predominate the spontaneous PL spectrum. Further In-incorporation ( x>4%) leads to the localization of carriers and/or excitons at band-tails in the In-rich areas. Correlation between the position of dominant low-energy PR oscillation due to the main band gap and SE peak position shows that band-to-band transitions are responsible for lasing and dominate the PL spectrum in all highly pumped In x Ga 1− x N samples.
