摘要
The structural and optical properties of GaInN single layer and GaInN multi-quantum well (MQW) structures were investigated. Room temperature stimulated emission with the longest wavelength in the blue region by optical pumping is observed from a GaInN/GaN MQW for the first time. The compositional dependence of the emission properties of GaInN strained MQW structures with different InN molar fractions has also teen discussed. It was found that the quantum-confined Stark effect due to the intrinsic piezoelectric field has a serious effect on the optical properties of nitride-based MQW.
