Abstract
The advantage of grading of the confinement layers of quantum-well (QW) laser structures for high-speed performance is still a matter of controversy.1 In this work we study the influence of step-grading the confinement layers on the photoexcited carrier transport in 1.55-μm InGaAsP/lnP graded-index separate-confinement-heterostructure (GRINSCH) QW laser structures. The measurements are performed by using the time-resolved-photoluminescence (PL) technique with upconversion. Ambipolar transport, governed by the holes, and electron transport are studied separately by choosing a high or a low photoexcited carrier density with respect to the p-doping of the structures.
