The thesis focuses on the broadband characteristic of asymmetric multiple quantum dots . The main sources of the samples are grown from our laboratory. We used molecular beam epitaxy to grow a series samples with different thickness and structures. We also add p type modulation doping in the active layer in asymmetric multiple quantum dots p-i-n laser structures.
In our experiment, we use the electroluminescence measurement system to measure the optical signals by adding a forward bias. Then we discuss the spectrum shape, emission intensity, and peak distribution. We also analysis the jump migration between these similar samples. Besides, we use the photo current spectrum, differential absorption coefficient spectrum, and differential refractive coefficient spectrum to analysis the signals.
We use sample C240 as our main structure. It organized by three different quantum dots ingredients: In0.64Ga0.36As, In0.75Ga0.25As, and InAs. We find that we get the intensity in C240 is very weak, and the FWMH is 108nm. When we add the quantum dots layer double, we find that the FWHM become 134nm. And then, when we grow 2nm InGaAs quantum well behind the quantum dots structures, the FWMH increases to 156nm. Finally, when we add p type modulation into quantum well, we find the intensity has increased a lot, and the emission wavelength is from 1.18£gm to 1.36£gm. It is about 196nm. By the conclusion, we can find that the emission intensity and FWMH is relative to the different quantum dots layers and doping, we also find that by increasing one quantum layer, we can get the higher FWMH.
Finally, we expect that we can use our broadband characteristic of the AMQDs samples to produce broadly tunable laser and broad-band semiconductor optical amplifier in the future.
