Abstract

We show that high-quality strain-compensated InAsxP1−x/GayIn1−yP multiple quantum wells (MQWs) can be grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy on InP substrates even though the InAsxP1−x quantum wells have a large lattice mismatch (∼ 1.3%) with respect to InP. Very sharp satellite peaks in double-crystal X-ray diffraction and narrow line width in low-temperature photoluminescence (FWHM of 4 meV at 9 K) are obtained from MQWs of up to 50 periods. Strain compensation allows a wide range of the net strain around the ideally compensated point, where the net strain equals zero, without degrading crystalline quality.
