Narrow gap IV-VI (lead chalcogenide) compounds are employed since long time as
mid-IR-detectors and -lasers. IV-VIs are tolerant to structural defects (dislocations). This
allows lattice mismatched MBE-growth on foreign substrates like Si which offers significant
advantages with respect to size, costs and thermal conductivities.
In addition, IV-VIs are unique as regards design of Bragg mirrors because of the very
high index contrast between IV-VI materials (nH = 4-5) and BaF2 (nL=1.43). A few pairs of
quarter wavelength nH/nL-stacks suffice to obtain very high reflectivities R>99%.
We review some of our results for different devices: Infrared sensor arrays for thermal
imaging on active Si read-out chips, RCEDs (resonant cavity enhanced IR detectors),
optically pumped PbSe/Pb1-xEuxSe edge emitting DH (double heterostructure) or QW
(quantum well) lasers on Si substrates and “wavelength transformers”, VCSEL (vertical
cavity surface emitting laser) structures operated in sub-threshold. |
