摘要

We report on photoreflectance (PR) measurements in the 0.8-1.5 eV photon energy range and at temperatures from 80 to 300 K of InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) grown by Atomic-Layer Molecular Beam Epitaxy. The QDs are embedded in a In_(.15)Ga_(0.85)As lower confining layer (LCL) with thickness ranging from 20 to 360 nm and in a 20 nm thick upper confining layer with the same composition, that we assume to be pseudomorphic to the LCL. The structures were previously characterized by spectroscopic ellipsometry, photo-luminescence and atomic force microscopy. PR spectra show clear and well-resolved spectral features due to both the QD ground-state transitions and the interband transitions between the topmost split valence bands and the lowest conduction band of LCLs. This allows to self-consistently study the effects on the QD emission energy of parameters such as thickness and composition of partially-relaxed LCLs, that determine the QD strain amount and the QD-CL band discontinuities. In this work, these two contributions to the tuning of the QD emission energy are separated by comparing experimental results to that calculated by means of a simple and yet valuable model for ground-state transitions in QDs. It is proved that QD strain (related to the CL-QD lattice-mismatch determined by the thickness-dependent LCL strain-relaxation) can be effectively used to tune the QD emission energy at room-temperature, in particular in the 1.3 μm window.
