InGaAs submonolayer quantum-dot photonic-crystal LEDs for fiber-optic communications

摘要

An InGaAs submonolayer (SML) quantum-dot photonic-crystal light-emitting diode (QD PhC-LED) with for fiber-optic applications is reported. The active region of the device contains three InGaAs SML QD layers. Each of the InGaAs SML QD layers is formed by alternate depositions of InAs (<1 ML) and GaAs. A maximum CW output power of 0.34 mW at 20 mA has been obtained in the 980 nm range.
