Abstract

The invention relates to an InP-based intermediate infrared InAsBi quantum well structure. InAsBi serves as a potential well layer of the quantum well structure, and In0.53Ga0.47As matched with InP or InxGa1-xAs (x is greater than 0 and less than 0.53) with a lattice constant less than that of InP serves as a barrier layer of the quantum well structure. An InP substrate adopted by the quantum well structure has excellent substrate quality compared with a GaSb substrate, so that the preparation cost of a device can be lowered; a quantum well adopts InAsBi as the potential well layer, so that middle infrared band light emitting can be achieved due to a narrow band gap; and compared with a quantum cascade laser prepared by utilizing sub-interband transition, a semiconductor light source prepared by utilizing quantum well interband transition has the advantages of low threshold current and high electro-optical conversion efficiency.
