Abstract

The electroluminescent properties of quantum-well diode structures on staggered type-II heterojunctions in the InAs/GaSb system, obtained by molecular-beam epitaxy on InAs substrates, are investigated. Electroluminescence is observed in the spectral range 3–4 μm at T=77 K. It is found that emission bands due to recombination transitions involving electrons from the size-quantization levels of both the self-matched quantum wells at the InAs/GaSb type-II heterojunction and of the square quantum wells in short-period superlattices.
