Abstract
The authors report the growth of a II-VI Znx Cd1-x Se Zn x′ Cd y′ Mg1- x′ - y′ Se asymmetric coupled quantum well (asymmetric-CQW) structure that was used to investigate the active region of an intersubband electroluminescence structure designed for emission at λ=4.5 μm. Such a structure could comprise the active region of a quantum cascade laser. The results of photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis show good agreement with the expected transition energies predicted by simulation results for the asymmetric-CQW structure. High resolution x-ray diffraction analysis indicates high structural quality of the sample and good control of the growth.
