摘要：
We have determined the critical layer thickness of GaAs/InGaAs strained quantum well structures by means of photoluminescence (PL) microscopy using the scanning near-field optical microscope. Reduction of the PL intensity appears as dark lines in the PL image. These dark lines are attributed to misfit dislocations formed at the GaAs/InGaAs interfaces. The density of dark lines in the <110> directions as a function of the layer thickness shows the existence of two critical layer thicknesses for the formation of misfit dislocations.
