摘要
We have investigated the effect of different cap layers on the photoluminescence (PL) of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs). Based upon different cap layers, the wavelength of InAs QDs can be tuned to the range from 1.3 to 1.5 mum. An InAlAs and InGaAs combination layer can enlarge the energy separation between the ground and first excited radiative transition. GaAs/InAs short period superlattices (SLs) make the emission wavelength shift to 1.53 mum. The PL intensity of InAs QDs capped with GaAs/InAs SLs shows an anomalous increase with increasing temperature. We attribute this to the transfer of carriers between different QDs.
