We study the electroluminescence (EL) emission of an n-type GaSb resonant tunneling diode with pseudomorphically grown ternary GaAs0.05Sb0.95 emitter prewell and quantum well. Emission peaks are observed along to the spectral range of 1.1 µm to 1.6 µm. We attribute the radiative recombination to the generation of holes via impact ionization processes. Comparing EL and photoluminescence (PL) emissions, we observe a high EL on-off-ratio which is one order of magnitude greater than the PL on-off-ratio. The larger EL on-off ratio correlates with the coherent current channel. To understand the carrier dynamics inside the quantum well, we characterize the carrier lifetimes using Time-resolved Photoluminescence spectroscopy. We demonstrate the existence of different carrier relaxation processes, unveiled under different current conditions.
