Abstract

High quality quantum wire (QWR) structures with an emitting wavelength in the 1.5-μm range were self-organized in an In0.65Ga0.35As/In0.52Al0.48As quantum well layer grown on a (775)B-oriented InP substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. Photoluminescence (PL) from the (775)B In0.65Ga0.35As/In0.52Al0.48As QWRs with a nominal well width of 4.8 nm was observed at 1.43 μm at 12 K, which corresponds to a PL wavelength of about 1.5 μm at room temperature. The PL peak was considerably polarized along the wire direction with a polarization degree of P [= (I∥ - I⊥) / (I∥ + I] ⊥)] = 0.14, indicating its good one-dimensionality. The FWHM of the PL peak was as small as 17 meV, which is the best value for InGaAs QWRs on InP substrates.
