摘要: Abstract We have shown that strain compensation is effective in increasing the critical layer thickness or number of periods a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure and improving thermal stability. Compared with strain-uncompensated InAs 0.4 P 0.6 InP MQW (1.3% strain) on substrates, strain-compensated Ga y In 1 − p-i-n exhibits superior structural optical properties, especially electroabsorption characteristics suitable for modulator applications at 1.3 μm. Strain-compensated 0.3 0.7 As MQWs GaAs substrates exhibit better photoluminescence properties are to be more thermally stable.
