Abstract

We have studied heterostructures based on short-period InGaAs/InGaAlAs superlattices (SLs) manufactured by molecular-beam epitaxy on InP substrates, intended for use as active regions in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers operating in a 1.3-μm spectral range. The heterostructures were characterized by measuring photoluminescence (PL) emission and X-ray diffraction. It is established that variation of the ratio of quantum-well and barrier-layer thicknesses in the SL allows controlled shift of the PL peak position for lasing in the 1.3-μm range at almost constant PL efficiency.
