I-V behaviour of p/SI-InP: Fe/n and p/n /SI-InP/Fe/n configurations related to leakage current in buried heterostructure lasers with current blocking SI-InP:Fe

Abstract

IN behaviour of p/Sl/n and p/n/SI/n configurations are studied and compared. These results are exploited to extract their contributions to leakage currents in two types of buried heterostructure lasers which use SI-InP:Fe as the current blocking layer.
