Description
Summary:We have fabricated the InGaN&#x002F;AlGaInN multiple quantum wells with lattice-matched AlGaN&#x002F;InGaN superlattices barriers (SL-MQWs). The lattice-matched superlattices promote the formation of the high-quality MQWs and eliminate the large polarization electric field. Highly excited photoluminescence measurement is performed by Ti-sapphire pulse laser with the maximal carrier density of 10<sup>20</sup> cm<sup>&#x2212;3</sup>. Under such high carrier density, the conventional InGaN&#x002F;GaN MQWs (C-MQWs) have an additional nonradiative loss of carriers and suffer from the efficiency droop effect, while slight droop behavior is observed in the SL-MQWs sample. The results show that the substitution of AlGaN&#x002F;InGaN superlattices as quantum barriers can effectively suppress the droop behavior at highly excited condition.
