Abstract
The ground and excited state luminescent transitions in self-organized InAs/InP(001) quantum islands (QIs) grown in two different matrices (In<sub>0.52</sub>Al<sub>0.48</sub>As and InP), have been studied by cw photoluminescence (PL) and time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). PL excitation (PLE) shows that the multi-component PL spectrum measured for the InAs/InAlAs QIs is associated to ground and related excited state transitions of QIs having monolayer-height fluctuation whereas for InAs/InP QIs the multi-component PL spectrum is only due to one ground state and their related excited states. This attribution is confirmed by the recombination life times measured by TRPL which are in the 1.2-1.4 ns range for the ground state transitions and in the 90-600 ps range for the excited state transitions.
