Indium phosphide arsenic-phosphorus-including quantum cascaded laser structure and uninterrupted growth method
Technical field
The present invention relates to infrared InP base arsenic-phosphorus-including quantum cascaded laser structure and uninterrupted growth preparation method continuously thereof in the low threshold value.Belong to photoelectric semiconductor material and device technology field.
Background technology
It contains 3-5 μ m to 2-14 μ middle-infrared band by what, two epochmaking atmospheric windows of 8-14 μ m, having important use in the atmosphere secure communication is worth, again by the what molecule, atomic vibration, rotation, the feature of many gases " fingerprint " the absorption line what 2-14 μ m middle-infrared band that falls, detect at trace gas, the chemical production process monitoring, medical diagnosis, biochemical poison gas monitoring has important use to be worth, therefore, the semiconductor laser that works in the 2-14 mu m waveband be applied to above-mentioned two fields must obligato important light source, the national security and the development of the national economy are all had crucial meaning.
Long-term next, the classics of ruling the semiconductor laser field swash to be penetrated theory and thinks that the sharp of semiconductor laser penetrate by being semi-conducting material conduction band electron and valence band hole-recombination, produce the p-n junction bipolar semiconductor laser of photon, its excitation wavelength is by the band gap decision of semi-conducting material, yet nature lacks the ideal semiconductor laser material of band gap place what middle-infrared band, thereby the situation of infrared semiconductor laser stagnation in causing.The only way that puts the axe in the helve is fundamentally to found new semiconductor laser theory, so Soviet Union scientist Kazarinov in 1971 and Suris propose to realize by the optical transition of quantum well intersubband the imagination of light amplification, H.C.Liu in 1988 proposed to adopt two traps coupling serial connection resonant tunneling structures by with in the intersubband optical transition realize swashing the imagination of penetrating.Through Bell Laboratory to these original physical thoughts and monoatomic layer molecular beam epitaxial growth technology 10 years of development, invented in 1994 finally work what 4.26 μ m middle-infrared bands quantum cascade laser (Quantum Cascade Laser, QCL).QCL is the epoch-making development of semiconductor laser theory and technology, has following characteristics: the sharp operation principle of penetrating of (1) QCL is based on subband optical transition in the conduction band, has only a kind of charge carrier (electronics) to participate in the optical transition ballistic phonon, is kind of an one pole type laser.The QCL excitation wavelength is also promptly to determine excitation wavelength by changing active area quantum well bed thickness by the energy difference that changes between active area excitation state, is not by semi-conductive band gap decision wavelength, therefore can cover very wide wave-length coverage.Theoretical expectation can cover from several microns to more than the 200 μ m, thereby has fundamentally solved a difficult problem that lacks mid and far infrared wave band ideal semiconductor laser material.But with the near-infrared semiconductor laser mutually quite, the new problem that infrared Radiation photograph and free carrier mutual effect brought during the QCL of work what middle-infrared band also must consider except that the operation principle difference.This shows that the appropriate design of QCL structure is crucial; (2) QCL is the product that quantum energy band cutting engineering combines with advanced person's atomic layer growth technology, and the sharp photon of penetrating that the cascading of quantum cascade laser allows the progression similar number of an electron production and cascade brings high Output optical power thus.Therefore, the monoatomic layer growth method of QCL structure and the quality control basis and the guide that are device; (3) different application is to the QCL device performance: trace gas detects and requires that tool hang down threshold value, single mode is tunable, and atmospheric communication and electrooptical countermeasures then require to work in luminous power, the Heat stability is good that room temperature, continuous and tool meet application requirements.Therefore, need the new technology of development device; (4) a series of intrinsic property of QCL tool and the extrinsic property of work what middle-infrared band, QCL quantum efficiency as single-stage is lower, threshold current is bigger, driving voltage is higher, need swash with heavy current short pulse measuring system and more special drive condition and penetrate spectrum, current-voltage, electric current-measuring light power.
