1.35 mum photoluminescence (PL) with a narrow linewidth of only 19.2 meV at room temperature has been achieved in In0.5Ga0.5As islands structure grown on GaAs (1 0 0) substrate by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurement reveals that the 16-ML-thick In0.5Ga0.5As islands show quite uniform InGaAs mounds morphology along the [ 1(1) over bar 0] direction with a periodicity of about 90 nm in the [1 1 0] direction. Compared with the In0.5Ga0.5As alloy quantum well (QW) of the same width, the In0.5Ga0.5As islands structure always shows a lower PL peak energy and narrower full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), also a stronger PL intensity at low excitation power and more efficient confinement of the carriers. Our results provide important information for optimizing the epitaxial structures of 1.3 mum wavelength quantum dots devices. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
