AbstractWe report on the luminescence properties of Er doped GaN grown prepared by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) and solid-source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) on Si substrates. Both types of samples emitted characteristic 1.54 µm PL resulting from the intra-4f Er3+ transition 4I13/2→4I15/2. Under below-gap excitation the samples exhibited very similar 1.54 µm PL intensities. On the contrary, under above-gap excitation GaN: Er (SSMBE) showed ∼80 times more intense 1.54 µm PL than GaN: Er (MOMBE). In addition, GaN: Er (SSMBE) also emitted intense green luminescence at 537 nm and 558 nm, which was not observed from GaN: Er (MOMBE). The average lifetime of the green PL was determined to be 10.8 µs at 15 K and 5.5 µs at room temperature. A preliminary lifetime analysis suggests that the decrease in lifetime is mainly due to the strong thermalization between the 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 excited states. Nonradiative decay processes are expected to only weakly affect the green luminescence.

AbstractThe photoluminescent properties of erbium doped silicon rich silicon oxide (SRSO) is investigated. The silicon content of SRSO was varied from 43 to 33 at. % and Er concentration was 0.4–0.7 at. % in all cases. We observe strong 1.54 μ m luminescence due to 4I13/2⇒4I15/2 Er3+ 4f transition, excited via energy transfer from carrier recombination in silicon nanoclusters to Er 4f shells. The luminescent lifetimes at the room temperature are found to be 4–7 msec, which is longer than that reported from Er in any semiconducting host material, and comparable to that of Er doped SiO2 and A12O3. The dependence of the Er3+ luminescent intensities and lifetimes on temperature, pump power and on background illumination shows that by using SRSO, almost all non-radiative decay paths of excited Er3+ can be effectively suppressed, and that such suppression is more important than increasing excitation rate of Er3+. A planar waveguide using Er doped SRSO is also demonstrated.

ABSTRACTIn this work we report the structural and optical properties of ion implanted GaN. Potential acceptors such as Ca and Er were used as dopants. Ion implantation was carried out with the substrate at room temperature and 550 °C, respectively. The lattice site location of the dopants was studied by Rutherford backscattering/channeling combined with particle induced X-ray emission. Angular scans along both [0001] and [1011] directions show that 50% of the Er ions implanted at 550 oC occupy substitutional or near substitutional Ga sites after annealing. For Ca we found only a fraction of 30% located in displaced Ga sites along the [0001] direction. The optical properties of the ion implanted GaN films have been studied by photoluminescence measurements. Er- related luminescence near 1.54 μm is observed under below band gap excitation at liquid helium temperature. The spectra of the annealed samples consist of multiline structures with the sharpest lines found in GaN until now. The green and red emissions were also observed in the Er doped samples after annealing.
