The results of a study of the electroluminescence of the asymmetric InAs/InAs1−ySby/InAsSbP LED heterostructures with a molar fraction of InSb in the ternary solid solution in the active region y=0.15 and y=0.16 in the temperature range 4.2−300 K are presented. Based on the experimental data, the formation of a staggered type II heterojunction at the InAs1−ySby/InAsSbP heterointerface was determined. The dominant contribution of the interface radiative transitions at the type II heterointerface in the temperature range 4.2−180 K was shown, which makes it possible to minimize the temperature dependence of the operating wavelength of the LEDs.

The electroluminescent characteristics of the InAs/InAs1−ySby /InAsSbP asymmetric light-emitting diode heterostructures with high InSb mole fraction in the active region (y > 0.09) in the temperature range 4.2−300 K have been studied. Stimulated emission was achieved in the wavelength range 4.1−4.2 μm at low temperatures (T < 30 K). It was found that the electroluminescence spectra were formed as a result of the superposition of contributions from different channels of radiative recombination of charge carriers near the type II heterointerface. The effect of the quality of the type II InAsSb/InAsSbP heterojunction on the radiative interface transitions with an increase in the content of InSb in the ternary solid solution is considered.
