The structural and electrical properties of InN/GaN multiple quantum wells, which were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and electroluminescence measurements. As the quantum well growth time was changed, the wavelength was varied from 451 to 531 nm. In the varied current conditions, the blue LED with the InN MQW structures did not have the wavelength shift. With this result, we can expect that the white LEDs with the InN MQW structures do not show the color temperature changes with the variations of applied currents.

ZnO is a promising material for the application of high efficiency light emitting diodes with short wavelength region for its large bandgap energy of 3.37 eV which is similar to GaN (3.39 eV) at room temperature. The large exciton binding energy of 60 meV in ZnO provide provides higher efficiency of emission for optoelectronic device applications. Several ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum well (MQW) structures have been grown on various substrates such as sapphire, GaN, Si, and so on. However, the achievement of high quality ZnO/ZnMgO MQW structures has been somehow limited by the use of lattice-mismatched substrates. Therefore, we propose the optical properties of ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum well (MQW) structures with different well widths grown on lattice-matched ZnO substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra show MQW emissions at 3.387 and 3.369 eV for the ZnO/ZnMgO MQW samples with well widths of 2 and 5 nm, respectively, due to the quantum confinement effect. Time-resolved PL results show an efficient photo-generated carrier transfer from the barrier to the MQWs, which leads to an increased intensity ratio of the well to barrier emissions for the ZnO/ZnMgO MQW sample with the wider width. From the power-dependent PL spectra, we observed no PL peak shift of MQW emission in both samples, indicating a negligible built-in electric field effect in the ZnO/$Zn_{0.9}Mg_{0.1}O$ MQWs grown on lattice-matched ZnO substrates.

Impurity-free vacancy diffusion 방법을 이용하여 압축 응력을 가진 InGaAs/InGaAsP 다중 양자 우물 구조에서 열처리 온도에 따른 무질서 정도를 조사하였다. InGaAs/SiO$_2$ cap 구조가 InP/$SiO_2$ cap 구조보다 급속열처리 (rapid thermal annealing : RTA) 과정에서 더 많은 청색 천이를 나타내었다. 열처리 온도 $700^{\circ}C$에서, InGaAs/$SiO_2$ cap 구조의 경우 다중양자우물의 밴드갭 파장은 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$대역에서 1.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 대역으로 이동하였으며, InGaAs/$SiO_2$ cap 구조와 InP/$SiO_2$ cap 구조의 밴드갭 파장차이는 195 nm (123 meV)로 높은 선택성을 나타내었다. 또한, DCXRD 스펙트럼으로부터 다중양자우물 구조에서 균일한 합금형태로 완전히 무질서화되는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Strained multiple quantum well(SMQW) PBH-DFB-LDs emitting at 1.55$\mu$m wavelength has been fabricated using OMVPE and LPE crystal growth tecnique. Using the SMQW active layer, a linewidty enhancement factor of 2.65 was obtained at lasing wavelength and consequnently, packaged 42 modules showed a very low average chirp of 0.44nm at 2.5Gbps NRZ direct modulation. The 77 devices showed average threshold current of 8.72mA and average slope efficiency of 0.181 mW/mA, and single longitudinal mode operation with SMSR larger than 30dB up to 5mW. Among the 77 devices, standard deviation of lasing wavelength of 3.57nm was obtained owing to a good crystal growth uniformity.

Linearity is an important property of optical devices for analog communications. In this paper, we study the 3rd-order interrnodulation distortion (IMD3) of an Inp/InGaAsP multiple-quantum-well (MQW) traveling-wave type electroabsorption modulator (TW-EAM). We observe abnormal notches in the IMD3 results those were different from notches by general transfer curve of electroabsorption modulators (EAMs). We analyze the phenomena through absorption coefficients according to wavelengths and bias voltages to verify appearance of the abnormal notchs, where it can be known to result from Stark-shift and broadening. We propose the method to enhance linearity of MQW-EAMs by using these effects.

The origin of the inhomogeneous distribution of photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelength on a commercial 2" GaN wafer for green light emitting diode has been investigated by wide momentum transfer (Q) range x-ray diffraction (XRD) profile of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells. Near the GaN (0004) Bragg peak, wide-Q range XRD (${\Delta}Q$ > $1.4{\AA}-1$) was measured along the growth direction. Wide-Q XRD gives precise and direct information of ultra-thin InGaN quantum well structure. Based on the QW structural information, the variation of PL spectra can be explained by the combined effect of temperature gradient and slightly uneven flow of atomic sources during the QW growth. In narrow variations of indium composition and thickness of QW, an effective indium composition can be a good character to match structural data to PL spectra.

A quantum well electroabsorption waveguide modulator utilizing a field-induced refractive index change was designed and fabricated. The on/off ratios of the device were investigated as a function of wavelength over the spectral range of 850 nm to 910 nm for the various reverse biases. The field-induced refractive index variations associated with quantum-confined Stark effect was theoretically obtained based on the measured on/off ratios. The resulting maximum refractive index change(${\DELTA}n) of ~7.5 {\times} 10^{-4}$ at -8 V was estimated.

We investigate the temperature dependence of efficiency droop in InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the temperature range from 20 to $80^{\circ}C$. When the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and the wall-plug efficiency (WPE) of the LED sample were measured as injection current and temperature varied, the droop of EQE and WPE was found to be reduced with increasing temperature. As the temperature increased from 20 to $80^{\circ}C$, the droop ratio of EQE was decreased from 16% to 14%. This reduction in efficiency droop with temperature can be interpreted by a temperature-dependent carrier distribution in the MQWs. When the carrier distribution and radiative recombination rate in MQWs were simulated and compared for different temperatures, the carrier distribution was found to become increasingly homogeneous as the temperature increased, which is believed to partly contribute to the reduction in efficiency droop with increasing temperature.

MBE로 성장한 AlGaAs/GaAs multiple-quantum well(MQW)에 대하여 pump source를 He-Ne laser와 Ar laser를 사용하여 상온에서 PR(photoreflectance)측정을 수행한 결과 여러 subband transition peak을 관찰하였다. PR결과를 standard analytic line shape으 로 fitting하여n=1의 conduction band와 heavy hole 그리고 light hole transition peak인 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll에 대한 energy값들을 얻었다. 또한 상온에서의 PL(photoluminescence)측정에 서 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll과 관련된 main peak와 shoulder를 관찰하였다. 이 값은 PR측정값과 잘 일 치함으로써 PL에서의 main peak와 should가 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll과 관련된 peak임을 확인할 수 있 었다. 또한 envelope function approximation(EFA)을 이용하여 구한 이론값과 PR과 PL에서 측정된 실험값들을 비교하였다.
