用自洽计算的方法研究了极化电场对AlxGa(1-x)N/GaN双量子阱中子带间跃迁的光学性质和电子分布的影响.发现极化场会导致电压降的出现,从而使得结构对称的AlxGa(1-x)N/GaN双量子阱具有不对称的导带和价带.极化效应还会使奇数序和偶数序的于带之间发生很大的Stark平移,从而使第一奇数序和第二偶数序子带之间的跃迁波长变短,这将有利于实现工作在通信窗口的光电子器件.同时,由于导带分布的不对称性,电子分布也不对称,从而会影响吸收系数.
The influence of polarization-induced electric fields on the electron distribution and the optical properties of intersubband transitions (ISBT) in AlxGa(1-x)N/GaN coupled double quantum wells (DQWs) is investigated by self-consistent calculation. It is found that the polarization-induced potential drop leads to an asymmetric potential profile of AlxGa(1-x)N/GaN DQWs even though the two wells have the same width and depth. The polarization effects result in a very large Stark shift between the odd and even order subbands,thus shortening the wavelength of the ISBT between the first odd order and the second even order (1odd-2 ) subbands. Meanwhile, the electron distribution becomes asymmetric due to the polarization effects, and the absorption coefficient of the 1odd-2 ISBT decreases with increasing polarization field discontinuity.
