    Notes: A large set of InGaAs/GaAs quantum well structures was investigated by means of continuous wave photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. Strong photomodulation effects are observed in PL, namely, a strong sensitivity to the excitation energy and strong changes in the line shape when resonant and nonresonant excitations are used together. Correspondingly, the exciton emission exhibits a doublet structure and the excitation spectra, as detected by monitoring the emission at the two peak energies of the PL doublet, show quite different profiles, with peaks and/or dips not directly related to absorption resonances. On the grounds of time-resolved experiments it is shown that band-bending modifications, due to trapping of free carriers at interface defects, account for the observed photomodulation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We investigated the temperature dependence (10–180 K) of the photoluminescence (PL) emission spectrum of self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots grown under different conditions. The temperature dependence of the PL intensity is determined by two thermally activated processes: (i) quenching due to the escape of carriers from the quantum dots and (ii) carrier transfer between dots via wetting layer states. The existence of different dot families is confirmed by the deconvolution of the spectra in gaussian components with full width half maxima of 20–30 meV. The transfer of excitation is responsible for the sigmoidal temperature dependence of the peak energies of undeconvoluted PL bands. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present a study on thermal-expansion effects induced by laser light coupling into metal-coated probes for near-field scanning optical microscopy. An expansion of the probe edge of 170 nm per mW of coupled power has been observed as an effect of the temperature raise due to light absorption in the metal coating. The phenomenon has been studied in both time and frequency domains by modulating the coupled laser power, in order to measure the typical time constants related to heat exchange processes, that turned out to be of the order of a few milliseconds. An analytical model, taking into account both the heat conduction through the coating and the convection losses, provides scales for the system parameters and fits the experimental data remarkably well. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Self-assembled InAs quantum dots have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy in such a way as to obtain a continuous variation of InAs coverages across the wafer. Structured photoluminescence spectra are observed after excitation of a large number of dots; deconvolution into Gaussian components yields narrow emission bands (full width at half-maximum 20–30 meV) separated in energy by an average spacing of 30–40 meV. We ascribe the individual bands of the photoluminescence spectra after low excitation to families of dots with similar shapes and with heights differing by one monolayer, as strongly supported by numerical calculations of the fundamental electronic transitions in quantum dot structures. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Multilayer structures of InAs quantum dots have been studied by means of photoluminescence techniques. A strong increase of the radiative lifetime with increasing number of stacked dot layers has been observed at low temperatures. Moreover, a strong temperature dependence of the radiative lifetime, which is not present in the single layer samples, has been found in the multistacked structures. The observed effects are nicely explained as a consequence of the electronic coupling between electrons and holes induced by vertical ordering. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Summary A photoluminescence study of self-ordered InAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a GaAs substrate is reported. Short pulses and high excitations have been used in order to observe emission from higher states of the quantum dots. The energy spacing between adjacent transitions seems to be of the order of 40–50 meV for dot diameters around 20 nm. The photoluminescence decay time from the ground state is of the order of 650–700 ps and decreases down to roughly 100 ps for the highest confined states. A cascade-like mechanism for the carrier relaxation in these structures is strongly suggested by the time-resolved data.

    Notes: Summary We report an experimental study on a large set of InGaAs/GaAs quantum well structures by means of continuous-wave photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation. The luminescence spectrum at low temperature systematically exhibits a doublet structure whose lineshape is very sensitive to the excitation energy. Accordingly, the excitation spectra detected by monitoring the emission at the two different luminescence peaks have very different profiles, with peaks and/or dips which are not directly related to absorption resonances. As a matter of fact, the anomalies disappear when increasing the temperature or when using an optical bias with energy above the GaAs energy gap. In these cases, the excitation profiles recover the behaviour typical of 2D systems.

    Notes: Summary A detailed study of the relative role played by localized and/or propagating intermediate excitonic states in, resonant Rayleigh scattering (RRS) is presented for a large set of GaAs quantum well (QW) and bulk structures. We show that the two kinds of states contribute to RRS through different mechanisms. We concluded that RRS occurs via localized states in QW heterostructures, very likely due to localization by the interface roughness, while bulk, crystals turn out to be better candidates for RRS via propagating states.
