Long-wavelength emission from single InAs quantum dots layer grown on porous GaAs substrate

摘要

In this paper, we present the growth and photoluminescence (PL) results of InAs quantum dots (QDs) on a p-type porous GaAs (001) substrate. It has been shown that critical layer thickness of InAs overgrowth on porous GaAs has been enhanced compared to that deposited on nominal GaAs. Using porous GaAs substrate, growth interruption and depositing 10 atomic monolayer (ML) In_(0.4)Ga_(0.6)As on InAs QDs, photoluminescence measured at 10 K exhibits an emission at 0.739 eV (～1.67 μm) with an ultranarrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 16 meV. This emission represents the longer wavelength obtained up to date to our knowledge and has been attributed to the radiative transition in the InAs QDs.
