Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an indium arsenide (InAs) quantum dot material modulated by a gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium antimonide (GaSb) cover layer and a molecular beam epitaxial growth method thereof. technical background
[0002] The 1.3-micron semiconductor laser is a key optical device widely used in optical fiber communication systems. The current commercial product is an indium gallium arsenide phosphor (InGaAsP) / indium phosphide (InP) laser. Due to the small difference in refractive index between InGaAsP and InP, the limitation of carriers in the active region is insufficient, resulting in poor temperature stability of the laser. The characteristic temperature is only about 70K. At the same time, it is difficult to prepare a vertical cavity surface emitting type laser with InGaAsP / InP materials. Therefore, the study of new GaAs-based near-infrared luminescent materials is an important topic in the field of optoelectronics. Since the discovery of...
