| Abstract: |
<p>Using a near-field scanning optical microscope, near-field photocurrent and topographic imaging has measured the effect on intrinsic electric fields and photocurrent propagation resulting from inserting multi-quantum barrier (MQB) super-lattices into quantum well lasers. Measurements on devices at two different excitation wavelengths have highlighted the sensitivity of the near-field optical technique. Strong correlations were seen in the photocurrent response of the multi-quantum barrier regions when compared with simulations made on the electric field generated within the structure. As a result, photocurrent attenuation was attributed to carrier confinement in these barrier regions when compared to a control sample. The measurements illustrate the effectiveness of the MQB, in addition to the sensitivity and power of the near-field photocurrent technique.</p> |
