Abstract:
Different capping of quantum dot (QD) materials is known to produce different degrees of intermixing during a post-growth thermal annealing process. We report a study of the effect of different degrees of intermixing on modulation beryllium doped quantum dot superluminescent light emitting diodes (QD-SLEDs). The intermixed QD-SLEDs show high device performance whilst achieving a large central emission wavelength shift of approximately 100nm compared to the as-grown device. The evolution of the emission spectra and power with drive current suggest a transition from QD-like to QW-like behavior with increasing degree of intermixing. A selective area intermixed QD-SLED is demonstrated, and with optimized differential intermixing, such structures should allow ultra-broadband sources to be realized.

In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
