摘要
When the energy of a below-gap excitation (BGE) coinsides with that of nonradiative recombination (NRR) centers, the intensity of photoluminescence (PL) was quenched with increasing the BGE power. We have observed a saturation of the PL quenching in a lightly-doped quantum well and established a method of determining NRR parameters quantitatively. The PL quenching saturation was attributed to a BGE and resulting filling up of electrons in two interacting levels. Combined with time-resolved PL measurements, NRR parameters of these levels. have been determined, which agreed fairly well with experimental results.
