摘要
Data are presented showing that a p-n InP-In0.5Ga0.5P-In-0.5(Al0.3Ga0.2)P-In0.5Al0.5P quantum-dot (QD) heterostructure diode, with an auxiliary similar to 20 Angstrom InGaP quantum well (QW) coupled via an In(AlGa)P barrier (similar to 20 Angstrom) to the single layer of QDs to aid carrier collection, has a steeper current-voltage characteristic than the case of a similar diode with no auxiliary QW. The p-n InP+InGaP QD+QW diode is capable of 300 K visible-spectrum QD laser operation, while the single-layer InP QD diode (single QD layer) saturates at low current (less than or similar to1 mA) and does not exhibit stimulated emission.
