InGaAs-InP multiple quantum well (MQW) structures are of particular interest for electro-absorption modulator applications because they offer the prospect of small, fast, monolithic spatial light modulator arrays compatible with the low loss optical fibre waveband at wavelength ~1.55μm. However, the QW absorption coefficients found in the InGaAs-InP system1 are significantly lower than those in the more widely studied GaAs-AlGaAs system2. This limits the changes in absorption coefficient provided by the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) in InGaAs-InP, and hence the modulation attainable in single-pass structures3,4. A careful study of the QCSE in InGaAs—InP is therefore necessary to ensure that the full potential of this technologically important system is realised.
InGaAs-InP多量子阱(MQW)结构对电吸收调制器应用特别感兴趣,因为它们提供了与波长~1.55μm的低损耗光纤波段兼容的小型,快速,单片空间光调制器阵列的前景。然而,在InGaAs-InP体系中发现的QW吸收系数明显低于更广泛研究的GaAs-AlGaAs体系2。这限制了InGaAs-InP中量子受限斯塔克效应(QCSE)提供的吸收系数的变化,从而限制了单通结构中可实现的调制3,4。因此,有必要对InGaAs-InP中的QCSE进行仔细研究,以确保这一技术上重要系统的全部潜力得到实现。

The work by Esaki and Tsu on tunneling in superlattices1 has generated a considerable interest for the potential application of tunneling to real devices. The rapid progress of epitaxial growth techniques has led to the creation of novel semiconductor structures which exhibit quantum-size effects and tunneling such as the double-barrier resonnant tunneling structures or the superlattice p-i-n diodes2. Transport studies in these structures demonstrated Bloch transport through the superlattice minibands3, negative differential resistance in double barrier diodes4, field induced localization5. More recently, optical measurements have been performed in double barrier structures in order to gain some insight on space-charge buildup6 and escape rates7.

The superior performance of light modulators based on the quantum confined Stark effect has been accepted for some time. Many experimental and theoretical data were obtained for GaAs-AlGaAs QW and SL. In the 1.55μm optical window, which is of particular interest for optical communication purposes, InGaAs and InGaAsP QW give better performances. For the ternary material refractive index data were published1 and the use of InGaAs and InGaAsP QW's in waveguide modulators2 and DBR lasers3 was demonstrated. Recently the advantage of using quaternary quantum wells for electrooptic phase modulation at 1.55μm was stressed4. The main point of interest is the additional degree of freedom, namely the InGaAsP composition. The problem of finding the optimal composition together with the best possible QW size for maximal phase modulation, within certain restrictions for the applied field, is treated on a theoretical basis in this paper. The modeling of the electric field dependent absorption in QW’s has already obtained a lot of attention5. Refractive index changes under applied field are much more difficult to model accurately due to the long energy range of the changes induced by the field. Recently Yamamoto et al.6 presented some theoretical results in a 30nm InGaAsP QW. They neglect exciton effects and only consider contributions of heavy holes. Both approximations work quite well in the large well limit, but are less accurate for smaller QW's.
基于量子受限斯塔克效应的光调制器的优越性能已经为人们所接受。在1.55μm光窗中,InGaAs和InGaAsP QW表现出更好的性能,这是光通信领域的一个重要研究方向。对于三元材料,发表了折射率数据1,并演示了InGaAs和InGaAsP QW在波导调制器s2和DBR激光器中的应用。近年来强调了在1.55μm处使用四元量子阱进行电光相位调制的优势。主要的兴趣点是额外的自由度,即InGaAsP组合。本文在理论基础上研究了在一定的应用领域限制下,寻找最大相位调制的最佳组成和最佳量子波尺寸的问题。量子阱中电场相关吸收的建模已经引起了人们的广泛关注。由于外加场引起的折射率变化的能量范围很长,因此很难精确地模拟。最近,Yamamoto等人6在30nm InGaAsP QW中提出了一些理论结果。它们忽略激子效应,只考虑重空穴的贡献。这两种近似方法在大井极限下都能很好地工作,但对于较小的量子阱就不太准确了。

Recently, field-induced modulations of optical properties of quantum well (QW) structures are of great interest because of their high speed switching capability. We have proposed a light emitting device1) which makes use of the field effect, instead of the change in carrier density, to result in a fast emission switching free from life time limitation. One of the key points to realize the proposed device was how to design a possible device structure which has the functions of carrier injection and of field control. In this paper, we report the dynamic switching characteristics of the practical field-effect light emitter2), demonstrating a life time free switching.

Tunneling is one of the basic quantum mechanical phenomena which plays a key role in many ultra thin semiconductor devices. Besides their potential for applications, double barrier hetero­structures are also interesting for the understanding of tunneling-based transport processes (1) and their dynamics. Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) has been used to determine the tunneling escape rate of electrons from a single quantum well through a thin barrier into a continuum (2) and to determine the electric field dependance of this tunneling rate (3).The charge accumulation in the quantum well can be estimated using magnetotunneling (4) or as recently demonstrated steady-state photoluminescence (5).
隧道效应是一种基本的量子力学现象,在许多超薄半导体器件中起着关键作用。除了潜在的应用之外,双势垒异质结构对于理解基于隧道的输运过程(1)及其动力学也很有趣。时间分辨光致发光(PL)已被用于确定电子从单个量子阱穿过薄势垒进入连续体的隧穿逃逸速率(2),并确定该隧穿速率与电场的依赖关系(3)。量子阱中的电荷积累可以使用磁隧穿(4)或最近证明的稳态光致发光(5)来估计。

1×16 Arrays of GaAs/AlGaAs Multiple Quantum Well Optical Modulators with 26:1 Contrast 1×16 26:1对比度的GaAs/AlGaAs多量子阱光调制器阵列
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.1364/qwoe.1989.pd1

Optical modulators fabricated from GaAs/AIGaAs multiple quantum well (MQW) structures have been operated in transmission,1 reflection,2 waveguide,3 and Fabry-Perot resonator4 modes with maximum contrast ratios ranging from 5 to 10. Small arrays of these devices have also been reported,5 but with lower contrasts and relatively little data on uniformity. Large arrays with high contrast and uniformity are required in optical computing and signal processing applications. In this work we report the fabrication of 16 x 16 arrays of transmission and reflection modulators with a maximum contrast ratio of 26. This is believed to be the largest room temperature contrast ever achieved in a MQW device. We have also made measurements of the uniformity of 1x16 columns of modulators from these arrays and have demonstrated that device-to-device variations in the transmission arrays are approximately 1% of the average transmission.

Semiconductor superlattices and quantum wells (QWs) are very important as new man-made materials for novel electronic and photonic devices. These modulated semiconductor structures have been extensively investigated for the past decade; however, they have been prepared almost exclusively on (100)–oriented substrates. The recent progress in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has made it possible to grow "device-quality" AlGaAs layers on (111)- and (110)–oriented GaAs substrates.1-3 As a result of comparing several properties of QWs grown on both (111)- and (100)-oriented substrates, we have discovered that a variety of quantum size effects (QSEs) depend upon the quantization direction, that is, the growth axis. In this paper, the experimentally confirmed orientation-dependent QSEs are overviewed, and application to the QW laser is presented.

Enhancement of the Radiative Lifetime of 2D Excitons in a GaAs Quantum Well by Dephasing Collisions 用消相碰撞增强GaAs量子阱中二维激子的辐射寿命

The nonlinear optical properties and the ultrafast dynamics of excitons in semiconductors are a major field of present semiconductor research. This interest is explained by the potential applications of excitonic nonlinearities as ultrafast optical switching devices in future optical communication systems. In a recent theoretical paper Hanamura /1/ discussed the advantages of excitons in a quantum well (QW) as a nonliner optical medium combining large 3rd order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) with a fast response. The strong enhancement of is χ(3) explained as a consequence of both the macroscopic transition dipole moment of the exciton in a QW and the rapid radiative decay of the confined excitons. Hanamura calculated that an exciton in a QW should decay superradiantly through its macroscopic dipole transition moment within a few picoseconds. This superradiant decay requires, however, a coherent polarization of the material and will be strongly reduced if the spatial and temporal coherence of the excited excitons is destroyed by interaction of the excitons with their environment. Such a tight connection between the radiative lifetime τ r and the dephasing T2 has been recently predicted by Feldmann et al. /2/.
半导体中激子的非线性光学特性和超快动力学是目前半导体研究的一个重要领域。激子非线性在未来光通信系统中作为超快光开关器件的潜在应用解释了这种兴趣。在最近的一篇理论论文中,Hanamura /1/讨论了量子阱中激子作为一种结合大三阶非线性磁化率χ(3)和快速响应的非线性光学介质的优点。其χ(3)的强增强解释为量子阱中激子的宏观跃迁偶极矩和受限激子的快速辐射衰减的结果。Hanamura计算出QW中的激子应该在几皮秒内通过其宏观偶极子跃迁瞬间进行超辐射衰减。然而,这种超辐射衰减需要材料的相干偏振,如果被激发激子的空间和时间相干性被激子与其环境的相互作用破坏,则会大大减少。费尔德曼等人最近预测了辐射寿命τ r与减相T2之间的紧密联系。

The In(Ga)As-based heterostructures appear promizing for the implementation of monolithic opto-electronic devices operating in the 1.5 μm wavelength. In (Ga)As-InP and In(Ga)As-In(Al)As are the two main families which are lattice-matched to InP substrates and which can be fabricated by Molecular Beam Epitaxy or Metal-Organic-Chemical-Vapor Deposition. These growth techniques allow the formation of abrupt interfaces which separate the well-acting (Ga(In)As) from the barrier-acting materials (InP or Al(In)As).
In(Ga) as基异质结构有望实现工作在1.5 μm波长的单片光电器件。In(Ga)As- InP和In(Ga)As-In(Al)As是与InP衬底晶格匹配的两个主要族,可以通过分子束外延或金属-有机-化学-气相沉积制备。这些生长技术允许形成突变界面,将良好作用的(Ga(In)As)与势垒作用的材料(InP或Al(In)As)分开。

We have grown HgCdTe/CdTe Multiple Quantum Wells (MQW) with the lowest transition near 3 µm, and we have observed room temperature confinement and photoluminescence. HgCdTe/CdTe MOW’S of different compositions can be used over the entire infrared range, since the material is lattice matched from 0 to 1.5 eV. The importance of the 3 µm region comes from the possibility of a communications system operating with fluoride fibers. The MQW was grown by MBE with 50 periods of 100 A of Hg0.15Cd0.85Te barriers and 50 A of Hg0.73Cd0.27Te wells (1). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray data confirm very little interdiffusion and high reproducibility of layer thickness. The thick barriers are necessary for strong confinement, especially for the light hole. Therefore we can see the heavy and light hole to conduction band transitions. The separation between these two transitions is mainly determined by the value of the valence band offset (VBO) between HgTe/CdTe, a controversial parameter with reported values ranging from 40 to 400 meV (2), and suggestions of being temperature dependent. Our data support a value near 400 mev which has little or no temperature dependence.
我们已经生长出了最低跃迁在3µm附近的HgCdTe/CdTe多量子阱(MQW),并且我们已经观察到室温约束和光致发光。不同成分的HgCdTe/CdTe MOW可以在整个红外范围内使用,因为材料在0到1.5 eV范围内是晶格匹配的。3µm区域的重要性来自于使用氟化物光纤运行的通信系统的可能性。用MBE生长MQW,用100 A的Hg0.15Cd0.85Te势垒和50 A的Hg0.73Cd0.27Te势垒生长50个周期(1)。透射电子显微镜(TEM)和x射线数据证实,层厚的互扩散很小,重现性很高。为了实现强约束,特别是对光孔,厚屏障是必要的。因此,我们可以看到重孔和轻孔到导带的转变。这两个跃迁之间的分离主要取决于HgTe/CdTe之间的价带偏移(VBO)的值,这是一个有争议的参数,报道的值从40到400 meV不等(2),并且建议与温度有关。我们的数据支持接近400 mev的值,它很少或没有温度依赖性。
