Abstract

The Al x Ga1-x P y A1-y quaternary system can be grown lattice-matched to GaAs (see Table C1-3). The quaternary system is a promising material for use as the confining layer in visible light emitting laser diodes because of its large energy gap and good lattice matching to GaP y As1-y substrates with their wide range of alloy compositions (y=0−1.0).
