Abstract

InAs/InAsSb SQW LED's incorporating AlAs_0.02Sb_0.98 or In_0.83Al_0.17As electron confining barrier layers are reported. Devices emitting 108 (mu) W and 84 (mu) W at 300 K with QW emission at (lambda) equals 4.1 micrometer and (lambda) equals 4.7 micrometer exhibit quantum efficiencies that are improved by factors of 7 and 3.4 respectively over control samples without the barrier. The operating wavelength of negative luminescent (NL) devices with InAs/In(As,Sb) strained-layer-superlattice (SLS) active regions has been extended to (lambda) equals 6.8 micrometer. NL performance is limited by leakage currents that originate in the n+ contact layer.
