Electroabsorption studies on InGaAs/InGaAsP quantum-well laser structures

Abstract: Field-induced changes of the transmittance of quantum-well laser structures with five ternary wells and quaternary barriers and waveguides, grown on InP substrates, have been investigated at low temperatures. The method selectively picks up states in undoped regions that are particularly sensitive to electric fields: the heavy-hole exciton in quantum wells, responding by the quantum confined Stark effect, and the band gap of the thicker waveguides which responds by the Franz–Keldysh effect. Both effects are us… Show more

“…The electric field varies in the range of 10 7 −10 8 V m −1 in our case of applied bias (1-12 V). The change of the bandgap ∆W exp (E) with the electric internal field E is described by Franz-Keldysh effect [30]…”

“…In Section 5.1, we discuss the suitability of photomodulated reflectance investigations for the characterization of quantum‐well structures; here we employ the electroabsorption method which is an adequate modulation technique as well. Experimentally, a square wave voltage is applied to the sample while the field‐induced change in absorption is measured 72. In order to analyze and interpret the resulting spectra which are nontrivial in general, we calculate absorption spectra for two different electric fields applied in growth directions.…”
