Strained InGaAs/GaAs Multiple Quantum Wells Grown on Planar and
Pre-Patterned GaAs(100) Substrates VIA Molecular Beam Epitaxy: Applications
to Light Modulators and Detectors
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTWe report the realization of high quality strained InGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells (MQW) grown on planar GaAs (100) substrates through optimization of molecular beam epitaxical (MBE) growth conditions and structure. Such MQWs containing ∼ 11% In have lead to the realization of an asymmetric Fabry-Perot (ASFP) reflection modulator with a room temperature contrast ratio of 66:1 and an on-state reflectivity of 30%. For In composition ≥ 0.2, the improved optical quality for very thick (gt;2μm) InGaAs/GaAs MQWs grown on pre-patterned substrates is demonstrated via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-absorption measurements.
