Abstract

We present micro-photoluminescence measurements on unstructured InGaN/GaN quantum well samples. Single sharp emission lines were observed and their optical properties were studied as a function of temperature and excitation density. The experimental findings such as the independence of their spectral position on the excitation density and the observation of binding and antibinding multiexcitonic states give clear evidence for the existence of strong localization centers in the InGaN quantum well, which exhibit the same characteristics as they are known for quantum dot structures.
