Abstract

Both hot carrier photoluminescence and picosecond time-resolved luminescence demonstrate that photoinduced carrier relaxation processes in InxGa1-xAs GaAs strained single quantum well structures are significantly slower than in the bulk and depend on the alloy composition of the InxGa1-xAs. These results are interpreted in terms of strain induced confinement of the LO-phonon as a possible source of the reduced electron-phonon interaction.
