Laterally patterned bandstructure and surface-normal anisotropy in micromachined (001) InGaAs multiple quantum wells

Abstract

We demonstrate that micromachining lattice-matched InGaAs quantum wells grown with barriers under tensile strain produces laterally patterned modifications to the semiconductor bandstructure and a large surface-normal optical anisotropy. The technique enables novel applications ranging from polarization modulators to quasi-phase matching to new piezoelectric materials.
