摘要
Self-assembling InP quantum dots are prepared by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. The dots have a diameter of 15 to 50 nm and a height of 5 to 15 nm depending on the nominally deposited InP layer thickness between 1.5 and 7 ML. Transmission electron microscopy measurements are presented to provide information about the structural properties. The InP quantum dots are embedded in Ga0.52In0.48P lattice matched to the GaAs (100) substrate and show a strong and narrow photoluminescence at room temperature in the visible range. Laser structures are prepared with one layer of. InP quantum dots within a 160 nm thick Ca0.52In0.48P waveguide region. 0.7 mu m thick AIInP layers are used as cladding layers below and above the waveguide. We observe lasing of the InP quantum dots at room temperature in optically pumped cleaved samples with a length of 500 mu m.
