Abstract

The role and suppression of electron leakage in developing 1.5 μm GaInNAsSb lasers were examined. It was found both theoretically and experimentally that the bandgap reduction due to introduction of nitrogen into (In,Ga)As manifested itself almost exclusively in the conduction band. It was also found by several groups that growth of GaN 0.025As 0.975 at ∼0.3 μm/hr at 455°C resulted in optically poor materials. Several techniques were proposed to reduce the defect-enhanced electron leakage mechanism including the novel asymmetric quantum well (QW) structure.
