摘要
The photoluminescence (PL) peak of an InAs/GaSb superlattice (SL) structure is found to be shifted from 5.8 to 4.0 mu m at 77 K, when the growth temperature is lowered from 380 to 340 degrees C. The PL peak shift is related to In intermixing, thus some SL structures cannot reach a detection wavelength < 3 mu m. Increasing the GaSb layer thickness in the SL structure is an effective way to reach a detection wavelength of 2-3 mu m. A p-i-n detector with a 50% cutoff wavelength at 2.56 mu m at 77 K is demonstrated.
