Abstract
Under study is the photoluminescence of two types of MBE-grown heterostructures with quantum-confined InGaAsN/GaAs layers: (1) conventional InGaAsN quantum wells (QWs) in GaAs, and (2) heterostructures with an active region consisting of a short-period GaAsN/InGaAsN superlattice that has an InGaAsN QW with a submonolayer InAs insertion at its center. At room temperature, the structures under study emit light in the range from ∼1.3 to ∼1.55 μm. In the second type of heterostructure, emission with a wavelength larger than 1.5 μm can be obtained at lower nitrogen and indium concentrations than in a conventional QW. This leads to a significant depression of the effects related to decomposition of an InGaAsN solid solution, thus improving the radiative efficiency of the InGaAsN QWs.
