Abstract
In recent years there has been a rapidly increasing demand for CO2 sensors for applications in health monitoring, control of air quality and horticulture. Amongst the various approaches reported so far, the AlGaInSb quaternary alloy shows great promise for the development of compact Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as it offers bandgap Type-I alignments, which enable the design of effective multi-quantum well (MQW) active regions. In this paper we show a more than fourfold improvement in wall-plug efficiency by optimising both the strain in AlGaInSb MQW active regions and the fabrication process flow of LEDs emitting at 4.26 um.
