Abstract:
In order to meet the need of solid state white light illumination and variable wavelength light source used in optical communication, based on the analysis of the property of the reverse biased tunnel junction, we design monolithic-integrated dual-wavelength light emitting diodes which are connected by a reverse biased tunnel junction. By metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on a GaAs substrate in a single step, we grew epitaxially this device that can emit two kinds of wavelengths of light simultaneously. This kind of monolithic integration device consists of two active regions, an AlGaInP multi-quantum well active region and a GaInP multi-quantum well active region, which are connected by a reverse biased tunnel junction. Through the process, we fabricated the LEDs. At 20 mA Dc injection current, the devices can emit wavelengths of 626 nm and 639 nm at the same time, the output light intensity is 127 mcd, and the forward voltage is 4.17 V. The test results are compared with those of the traditional one-active-region light emitting diodes. The output light intensity of dual-wavelength LEDs is higher than that of traditional LEDs. The forward voltage of dual-wavelength LEDs is not high.
