Abstract

Photoluminescence (PL) plays an important role in the study of luminescence characteristics of multi-quantum-well (MQW) structures. In this work, we study electro-photoluminescence spectra of InGaAs/AlGaAs MQWs under open-circuit, short-circuit, and forward-voltage conditions. The dependences of photocurrent and photovoltage on excitation power are discussed in this paper, which allows us to explore the carrier behavior in InGaAs/AlGaAs MQW LEDs deeply. We propose that the photovoltaic effect in open-circuit (OC) conditions should be properly considered for PL characterization and calculation of the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) as well as non-radiative recombination (NRA) efficiency in InGaAs/AlGaAs MQW LEDs.
