Abstract

The micro-photoluminescence ((mu) -PL) scanning has been performed on a GaAs/AlGaAs single V-grooved quantum wire (QWR) along the direction perpendicular to the wire. The variation of (mu) -PL spectra in different spatial positions with different quantum structures have been observed. In the region of QWR the PL spectra contain the peaks from QWR, necking quantum well and vertical quantum well while in that of about 1 micrometers leaving away from the QWR the PL spectra show only the peaks from side-wall quantum well and top quantum well. All the acquired spectra have been fitted by Gaussian line shape and the different PL components are decomposed. The intensity variation with the spatial position directly demonstrates the origin of the PL correlated to the different quantum structures. The PL energy for the each quantum structures has been precisely determined.
