Current-Induced Heating in Quantum Well and Quantum Wire Intersubband Emitter Structures
Applied physics letters(2007)
摘要
We discuss the influence of current-induced heating on the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and the spectral behavior in quantum well and quantum wire intersubband emitter structures. A conventional quantum cascade laser structure in the AlGaAs∕GaAs material system with undoped cladding layers and an undoped active region is examined. This heterostructure serves as a first growth step for quantum wire intersubband emitters fabricated by the cleaved-edge overgrowth technique. We discuss the influence of electrons supplied by a remote δ-silicon doping. Duty-cycle dependent measurements on the quantum wire structures confirm the influence of current-induced heating on the I-V characteristics as well as on the emission spectra.
