Abstract

The authors present calculations of quaternary III–V semiconductor alloy optical properties and the comparison of the theoretical data with available experimental results for AlGaAsSb, AlGaInP, AlGaInAs, and GaInAsP alloys. The investigation includes material's energy bandgap and refractive index calculations as a function of the incident wavelength in the transparent region, as well as the composition of the alloy. Optimization of the quaternary alloy refractive indices was obtained from a semi-empirical dielectric function calculations based on the interband transition contributions.
