Abstract
Recently we reported the observation of strong room temperature excitons in GaAsAlxGa1-xAs multi-quantum wells (MQW) for x as low as 0.02.[1] This observation has important technological ramifications foroptoelectronic devices due to enhanced electroabsorption resulting from the rapid ionization of the exciton with field,[1] and since the escape time of photoexcited carriers in MQW’s with x ≤ 0.04 is equivalent to bulk GaAs,[2] which results in superior high intensity modulation.[3]
