Developed and investigated are IR (850 nm) light-emitting diodes based on AlGaAs/Ga(In)As heterostructures grown by the MOCVD technique with multiple quantum wells in the active region and with a double optical reflector consisted of a multilayer Al0.9Ga0.1As/Al0.1Ga0.9As Bragg heterostructure and an Ag mirror layer. Light-emitting diodes with the external quantum efficiency EQE=37.5% at current densities greater than >10 A/cm2 have been fabricated. Keywords: IR light-emitting diode, AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure, Bragg reflector, InGaAs quantum wells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
