Abstract

Self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots (QD) grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) have a natural peak emission wavelength around 1150-1200-nm due to its specific composition, shapes, and sizes. In this work, a new method to engineer the emission wavelength capability of MOCVD-grown InGaAs QD on GaAs to ∼1000-nm by utilizing interdiffused InGaAsP QD has been demonstrated. Incorporation of phosphorus species from the GaAsP barriers into the MOCVD-grown self-assembled InGaAs QD is achieved by interdiffusion process. Reasonably low threshold characteristics of ∼ 200-280 A/cm2 have been obtained for interdiffused InGaAsP QD lasers emitting at 1040-nm, which corresponds to blue-shift of ∼ 85-90-nm in comparison to that of unannealed InGaAs QD laser.
