Localized states formed in a stack of InAs submonolayer depositions separated by few monolayer thick GaAs spacer layers recently received much advertence for optoelectronic applications. A high areal density [1] and direct relaxation into localized quantum dot (QD) states not coupled to a wetting layer are interesting for, e.g., direct modulated high-speed lasers [2]. On the other hand, coupling of stacked submonolayer depositions to a Stranski-Krastanow (SK) QD layer provides a tuning ability for the carrier dynamics and the transition energies.
The talk outlines the structural and optical properties of InAs/GaAs submonolayer stacks and reports on the carrier dynamics of such stacks coupled to a layer of SK QDs beneath. In the coupled system, the radiative recombination rate is controlled by the separation to the SK QDs. The measured dynamics is well described by a numerically simulated population of states localized in the submonolayer stack coupled to those of the SK QDs, taking Fermi blocking into account.
