Summary on Grant Application Form
We propose to study light emission and lasing associated with hot carrier longitudinal transport in HELLISH (Hot Electron Light Emitting and Lasing Semiconductor Heterojunction) devices consisting of the following heterostructures:Type I1. p+-Gal-xAlxAs / n+ -Gal-xAlxAs with GaAs quantum well in the n-side of the depletion region.2. p+-InP / n+-InP with InGaAsP quantum well in the n-side of the depletion region.Type II1. p-GaAs / n+ Gal-xAlxAs, with GaAs quantum well in the n+ layer next to the junction plane.2. p-OnGaAsP / n+InP, with InGaAsP quantum well in the n+ layer next to the junction plane.
