Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study on the optical properties of both type-I and type-II InAsSb/InGaAsSb nanostructures on InP substrates. A type-I band alignment is observed for InAsSb/InGaAsSb heterostructure when the Sb composition in InGaAsSb layers is 10%, while a type-II band alignment is observed for the InAsSb/InGaAsSb heterostructures when the Sb composition in InGaAsSb layers is higher than 10%. And, besides their long emission wavelength (around 2 μm), the InAsSb/In_0.53Ga_0.47As _0.7Sb_0.3 nanostructures with type-II band alignment have a much larger thermal activation energy (163 meV) compared with that of type-I band alignment (79 meV), which is helpful for suppressing the quenching of emission efficiency at high temperatures.
