Enhancement of the room temperature luminescence of InAs quantum dots by GaSb capping

The authors have studied the use of antimony for the optimization of the InAs/GaAs(001) self-assembled quantum dot (QD) luminescence characteristics in the 1.3 µm spectral region. The best results have been obtained by capping InAs QDs with 2 ML of GaSb grown on top of a 3 ML GaAs barrier separating...

Sumario:The authors have studied the use of antimony for the optimization of the InAs/GaAs(001) self-assembled quantum dot (QD) luminescence characteristics in the 1.3 µm spectral region. The best results have been obtained by capping InAs QDs with 2 ML of GaSb grown on top of a 3 ML GaAs barrier separating the InAs and the GaSb layers. This results in an order of magnitude enhancement of the room temperature luminescence intensity at 1.3 µm emission wavelength.
