Abstract

In this paper, we study the interdiffusion of tensile strained GaAsyP1-y/Al0.33Ga0.67As single QW structures with a well width of 60 angstrom. Different P concentrations in the as-grown well are chosen to obtain different tensile strains in the QW. Interdiffusion induces changes in the tensile strains and confinement potentials, which consequently change the valence band structure and the optical gain.
