摘要
We investigate the influence of polarization switching on the optical gain of semipolar InGaN quantum wells (QWs) depending on indium content and charge carrier concentration using self-consistent 6 x 6 k.p-band structure calculations. The semipolar planes considered here are the (11 (2) over bar2)- and the (20 (2) over bar1)-plane. In contrast to the (20 (2) over bar1)-plane, the dominant polarization of the optical gain in a QW on the (11 (2) over bar2)-plane can depend on both the indium content and the charge carrier concentration, as reported from experiments. These effects are explained by a detailed analysis of the wave function composition of the topmost valence bands in a semipolar QW. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
