Abstract:

We present micro-photoluminescence measurements on single site-controlled InGaN/GaN quantum dots using two-photon excitation Furthermore, measurements of photoluminescence excitation and time-resolved photoluminescence are also presented. We show that two-photon excitation results in total suppression of the emission from the underlying quantum well, to which the quantum dots are couple, and yet strong quantum dot emission. We attribute this effect to the enhancement of the two-photon absorption in the quantum dots as a result of the zero-dimensional confinement compared to that of the quantum wells. © 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract:

Time-resolved and time-integrated microphotoluminescence spectrometry of exciton and biexciton transitions in a single self-assembled InGaN quantum dot gives sharp peaks, with the biexciton 41 meV higher in energy. Theoretical modelling in the Hartree approximation (using a self-consistent finite difference method) predicts a splitting of up to 51 meV. Time-resolved microphotoluminescence measurements yield a radiative recombination lifetime of 1.0 ± 0.1 ns for the exciton and 1.4 ± 0.1 ns for the biexciton. The data can be fitted to a coupled DE rate equation model, confirming that the exciton state is refilled as biexcitons undergo radiative decay. © 2005 IOP Publishing Ltd.
