Influence of Photo-electron Coupling on Optical Properties of InGaN/GaN Quantum Wells
Toward high performance GaN-based vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs)
we designed two types of InGaN/GaN coupled quantum wells (QWs) with different photo-electron interaction strengths
and studied their optical properties. In sample A
two sets of QWs are located at two antinodes of the optical field with two coupled QWs in each set. While in sample B
one set of QWs is located at one antinode of the optical filed with five coupled QWs. The relative optical confinement factors are calculated to be 1.79 and 1.47 for samples A and B
respectively. Optical measurements revealed that sample A has higher internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and higher radiative recombination efficiency. VCSELs fabricated by using sample A are featured with lower threshold pumping energy compared with the device fabricated from sample B. These results demonstrated that the structure of QWs will influence the photo-electron interaction
the IQE
the radiative efficiency of materials
and the threshold of VCSELs. In our case
structure of sample A is better than sample B.
