Abstract

Availability of tensilely strained GaInP/AIGaInP quantum well, which is essential to laser diodes operating at 635–650nm, is investigated by combining conventional and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. It is found that optical characteristics are improved by introducing tensile strain into barrier layers in addition to well layers, while samples with unstrained or compressively strained barrier layers reveal inferior characteristics. Experimantal data indicate that these optical characteristics are not determined by interfacial stress, but by the energy band discontinuity between well and barrier layer.
