Extending the spectral range of CdSe/ZnSe quantum wells by strain engineering

Abstract: We demonstrate efficient room-temperature photoluminescence and spectral tuning of epitaxially grown ZnSe/CdSe quantum well structures almost over the whole visible spectrum (470-600 nm wavelength). The key element to achieve the observed high quantum efficiency and enormous tuning range was the implementation of a special strain engineering technique, which allows us to suppress substantial lattice relaxation of CdSe on ZnSe. Previous studies indicated that a CdSe coverage exceeding 3 ML on ZnSe results in th… Show more

“…The luminescence of the two thickest QW samples with 4.7 ML and 5.6 ML CdSe is further red-shifted to ∼ 2.3 eV and ∼ 2.05 eV, respectively. It should be noted, that these QW thicknesses cannot be realized on standard (001)-GaAs substrates without the strain engineering technique [19], as the strain in the CdSe (e.g. lattice mismatch ∼ 6.7 % to GaAs) causes the formation of quantum dots for CdSe layers exceeding 2.1 ML [24,25].…”

“…[1,2] ZnSe-based structures have the additional advantage of being nearly lattice-matched to GaAs which allows for a high quality (i.e., low defect and dislocation densities) of epitaxially grown structures on this widely used substrate. [3][4][5][6] Microdisk resonators offer a small mode volume combined with high optical quality because total internal reflection contains light in constructively interfering whispering gallery modes (WGMs) inside these structures. These properties make microdisks interesting candidates for the study of strong light-matter interaction [7] as well as for the emission of single photons utilizing the cavities' high Purcell factors.…”
