Abstract

We investigated the effects of hydrogen irradiation on the degree of linear polarization, ρ, of the light emitted by site-controlled, dilute-nitride InGaAsN V-groove quantum wires (QWRs). While in the as-grown sample the polarization of the QWR emission is highly sensitive to the increasing temperature (T), after sample hydrogenation the value of ρ remains nearly unchanged (and ∼25%) for T ≤ 220 K. This observation—potentially important for the development of devices based on the QWR polarization—points to a larger energy separation between hole subbands in the hydrogenated QWRs, due to the strain increase associated with the H-induced passivation of nitrogen.
