However, a specific degradation of the photoluminescence properties of GaInAsN quantum wells (QW), and consequently of the lasing threshold of GaInAsN-based lasers, occurs due to the N incorporation. In this paper, we have investigated in detail the growth parameters of GaInAsN grown by MOVPE using dimethylhydrazine (DMHy) as nitrogen precursor. We have established that optimized growth conditions further away from standard parameters can lead to a strong improvement of both PL and lasing characteristics. Thus, a low-pressure MOVPE process combined with low growth temperature and growth rate, as well as the choice of specific low cracking temperature group-V and III precursors such as DMHy, TBAs and TEGa are essential to achieve GaInAsN material suitable for laser devices. By this way, we have achieved lasing at 1.26 /spl mu/m with a threshold current density as low as 540A/cm/sup 2/.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.

LCM occurs only in a [1-10] direction at T/sub g/ = 490/spl deg/C for n = 1 and 2. On the contrary, LCM occurs both in [1-10] and [110] directions, parallel to [100] direction, at T/sub g/ /spl ges/ 425/spl deg/C for n = 1.7. This is due to the stronger induction of LCM in tensile strain (/spl sim/-10% for n = 1.7) than in compressive strain (/spl sim/6% for n = 1 and 2). The 9 K-PL measurements show that the LCM experiences the reduction of bandgap up to /spl sim/345 meV as both n and T/sub g/ increase. This is the best data ever reported so far. The origin of bandgap shrinkage is mainly attributed to LCM along with the contribution of CuPt-type ordering.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.

Using a new assumption that electron effective mass is 0.041 m/sub 0/ at the bottom of a conduction quantum well and as much as one of bulk at the conduction bandedge and varies smoothly toward higher energy, the energy dependence of the effective mass was sufficiently considered even as small eigen-energy at small quantum-number. After fitting experimental transition energies to the envelope function model, nonparabolicity of the electron effective mass explicitly was determined as a function of energy in a direction normal to quantum well layers. The electron effective mass smoothly increased from 0.041 m/sub 0/ to 0.08 m/sub 0/ in the conduction quantum well at room temperature.","PeriodicalId":145425,"journal":{"name":"Conference Proceedings. 14th Indium Phosphide and Related Materials Conference (Cat.
