Optical Characteristics of High-efficiency 440 nm Dip-shaped InGaN/GaN Quantum Well Structures
Seoung-Hwan Park
∗Department of Electronics Engineering, Catholic Univ. of Daegu, Gyeongsan 712-702 (Received 1 September, 2010 : revised 4 October, 2010 : accepted 15 November, 2010)
The optical characteristics of 440 nm dip-shaped InGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures were studied using multi-band effective mass theory. The results were compared with those of con- ventional single InGaN/GaN QW structures. The transition wavelength gradually decreases with increasing carrier density due to the screening effect. The rate of decrease of the transition wave- length for the dip-shaped InGaN/GaN QW structure is smaller than that of the single InGaN/GaN QW structure. Also, the spontaneous emission peak of the dip-shaped InGaN/GaN QW structure increases by about 20 %, compared to that of the single InGaN/GaN QW structure. This can be explained by the fact that optical matrix element for the dip-shaped InGaN/GaN QW structure is enhanced due to a reduction in the internal field effect.
