| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to clarify degradation mechanism of optical devices fabricated from dilute nitride semiconductors such as GaInNAs, grown-in defects were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, and generation and multiplication of defects in the crystals under laser irradiation were investigated.
It has been shown that defects such as point defect clusters and dislocation loops are not generated in as-grown GaInNAs crystals. Furthermore, in the case of laser irradiation of GaInNAs/GaAs SQW structure, we have found that the emission efficiency increased for lower laser power density and that the emission efficiency drastically increased then decreased for higher power density. In both cases, no structural defects were newly generated by the laser irradiation. Further increase in the laser power density is required for detailed investigation of the degradation mechanism.
