The Effect of Tensile Strain on AlGaAs/GaAsP Interdiffused Quantum Well Laser

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we study the interdiffusion of tensile strained GaAsyPi.y /A10 33Ga0 67As single QW structures with a well width of 60Å. Different P concentrations in the as-grown well are chosen to obtain different tensile strains in the QW. Interdiffusion induces changes in the tensile strains and confinement potentials, which consequently change the valence band structure and the optical gain.
