Abstract
The differences in spatially optical properties between blue and green quantum wells (QWs) in a monolithic dual-wavelength semipolar (20-21) structure were investigated by scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The shortest wavelength for green QWs and the longest wavelength for blue QWs were both discovered in the region with the largest stress. It demonstrated that In composition, compared to stress, plays a negligible role in defining the peak wavelength for blue QWs, while for green QWs, In composition strongly affects the peak wavelength. For green QWs, significant photoluminescence enhancement was observed in the defect-free region, which was not found for blue QWs. Furthermore, the efficiency droop was aggravated in the defect-free region for green QWs but reduced for blue QWs. It indicates that carrier delocalization plays a more important role in the efficiency droop for QWs of good crystalline quality, which is experimentally pointed out for the first time.
