The epitaxial growth of mismatched or strained III-V layers was shown to be viable as early as 1960. Osbourn et al suggested that strained layer GaP-GaAs1-xPx superlattices grown by organo-metal1ic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) could be used to fold the Brillouin zone and make indirect-crystal direct. More recently, it has been shown that a strained-layer superlattice can be grown free enough of defects at heterointerfaces to make possible stimulated emission. This has been demonstrated on OMVPE GaAs1-xPx-GaAs (x=0.25) and GaAs-InxGa1-xAs (x=0.2) strained layer superlattices which have been operatedas photopuraped continuous (cw) 300K lasers but which at high excitation levels (> 103Acm-2) prove to be unstable. This paper presents the results of an electron microscope study of the defects produced in a GaAs-InxGa1-xAs strained superlattice as a result of high excitation levels of operation.

ABSTRACTArsenic-rich InAs/InAs1−x Sbx strained-layer superlattices (SLS's) are studied in time-resolved optical, and CW magneto-optical spectroscopies. A pronounced type-II offset, with electrons confined to the alloy layers, is found. High radiative efficiencies at wavelengths well into the mid-IR, and the suppression of Auger recombination yield LED's operating at 3–10 μm. Present room temperature powers are ∼30 μW, probably limited by inadequate carrier confinement.

Photoluminescence (PL) and laser emission from optically excited InxGa1−xAs–GaAs strained-layer superlattices (SLS) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy have been examined. In low-intensity PL, a single, narrow (≈5 nm FWHM) emission peak was observed, corresponding to the n = 1 electron to heavy-hole transition. This feature, as well as a series of higher energy transitions, was also observed in absorption and photoreflectance spectra. High-intensity PL, using a pulsed nitrogen laser for excitation, yielded an additional peak, several millielectronvolts lower in energy than the dominant low-power PL feature. Optical-gain measurements were performed using the variable stripe-length method. The stimulated emission emerging from the single cleaved end was shifted to the long-wavelength side of the low-power PL peak, and in the case of the narrower well samples, the emission consisted of two peaks separated by about 8 meV. Lasing at these gain positions was observed when ≈400 μm long chips were prepared and their lengths were pumped with a stripe of nitrogen laser light. The observed gain spectrum has been attributed to a combination of a free-carrier-induced bandgap shift and self-absorption by unpumped material deeper within the SLS waveguide.

AbstractLaser threshold magnetometry using the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) centre in diamond as a gain medium has been proposed as a technique to dramatically enhance the sensitivity of room-temperature magnetometry. We experimentally explore a diamond-loaded open tunable fibre-cavity system as a potential contender for the realisation of lasing with NV− centres. We observe amplification of the transmission of a cavity-resonant seed laser at 721 nm when the cavity is pumped at 532 nm and attribute this to stimulated emission. Changes in the intensity of spontaneously emitted photons accompany the amplification, and a qualitative model including stimulated emission and ionisation dynamics of the NV− centre captures the dynamics in the experiment very well. These results highlight important considerations in the realisation of an NV− laser in diamond.
