Tóm tắt

Photomodulated reflectance (PR) and conventional reflectance studies have been performed on an InGaP/AlGaInP/Al/sub x1/Ga/sub y1/As/Al/sub x2/Ga/sub y2/As resonant-cavity light emitting diode structure in the red spectral region. The PR spectra show prominent signals from the Fabry-Perot cavity mode and the quantum-well (QW) ground state excitonic transition. This high-precision technique, and its variations as functions of incidence angle and temperature, as reported in this article, allow one to investigate light emission from the QW confined in a microcavity with relation to the Fabry-Perot mode, and is the only known nonconductive, nondestructive method of doing so.
