Cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy is applied to semiconductor lasers which are biased and producing light. Two device structures are investigated-a double quantum well laser and a buried heterostructure device with two-dimensional growth variation. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images are collected as a function of sample drive bias. Changes that occur in the STM image as a result of powering the sample are observed; which are due to changes in the energy band structure and the carrier concentration in the device as it responds to bias. The observed changes are largely reversible and a model is presented which matches and confirms this behavior. Once these effects are confirmed and decoupled; the technique can be used to study device-specific behavior resulting from physical changes in lasers as they are operated. © 2007 American Institute of Physics;
