摘要
Laser structures designed for the emission at 1.3 mu m and based on an active region containing InAsN quantum dots (QDs) embedded in GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) have been investigated by contactless electroreflectance. Optical transitions related to both the dots and the wells have been observed and the energies of the latter have been calculated using the effective mass approach. It has been shown that QW confines one electron, one light-hole, and three heavy-hole states only and the energy separation between the QD and QW ground state transitions is approximately 250 meV, which is ten times higher than the thermal energy at room temperature.
