摘要: Contactless electroreflectance (CER) has been applied to study the broadening of fundamental transition for GaInNAsSb/GaNAs/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) obtained at various growth and annealing conditions. It observed that CER resonances are about 50% narrower QWs grown lower group V fluxes annealed temperatures (660–720 °C) longer time (30–60 min) than those previously considered optimal (∼760 °C ∼60 s). The long can be partially realized in situ during (and/or after) upper part laser structure instead ex short-time annealing, where unintentionally overannealed very easily.
