ABSTRACTIn this paper we report a modified Kroemer's analysis for the determination of the band offset (ΔEc) of single quantum well (SQW) structures from simple C-V measurements. The experimental carrier profile from an MOVPE grown pseudomorphic GaAs/InGaAs/GaAs strained SQW structure shows a sharp accumulation peak bounded by depletion regions on either side. The full width at half maximum of the accumulation peak is comparable to the width of the quantum well. The value of ΔEC obtained from C-V measurement is in good agreement with the values determined by simulation and photoluminescence measurements. DLTS measurements on our SQW samples do not show any peaks which is contrary to the published reports. We believe that it is necessary to carefully isolate the role of interface states, before assigning a DLTS peak to emission from the quantum well.

Strained layer In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs quantum-well (QW) lasers have been used to pump Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers for use in opto-electronic communication systems. These InGaAs/GaAs Q-W lasers grown as graded index separate confinement heterostructures (GRINSCH) emit at 980 nm and have exhibited low threshold current densities, high electrical to optical power conversion efficiencies, low noise, and low temperature sensitivities [1–3]. Recently there has been much attention toward the growth and fabrication of devices containing short period superlattices of (InAs)m/(GaAs)m or (GaAs)m/(AlAs)n compositions [4–9]. Indeed the growth of inverted MODFET structures using a (GaAs)/(AlAs) superlattice barrier in place of an AlGaAs random alloy exhibited an increase in low temperature mobility due to reductions in the number of impurities and interface roughness [7]]. Can the optical properties of strained layer InGaAs/GaAs Q-W lasers also be improved by growing an (InAs)/(GaAs)4 short period superlattice as the active layer in place of the In0.2Ga0.8 As random alloy?This paper reports the fabrication of ridge waveguide lasers using a 6 period (InAs)1/(GaAs)4 superlattice active region in a GRINSCH laser structure. One period of the superlattice consists of 1 monolayer (ML) of InAs and 4 ML of GaAs. Thus the average In composition in the superlattice is 20%. This superlattice laser is an alternative to the In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs random alloy quantum-well laser used as a pump source for Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers. In a single quantum well In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs laser the active region is a thin layer (-70Å thick) sandwiched between GaAs barrier layers. The superlattice active laser reported here has 6 periods of (InAs)1/(GaAs)4 as the light emitting region of a total width comparable to a single quantum well of random alloy composition.
