Abstract

We report new high-resolution scanning photoluminescence (PL) experiments in the mid-infrared (IR) portion of the spectrum. The samples investigated were Hg0.7Cd0.3Te epilayers grown on Cd0.96Zn0.04Te substrates. The influence of macrodefects and the annealing of samples on the PL signal were studied. Transmission spectra were used to map the optical path variations of the epilayer.
