Abstract

Metamorphic heterostructures containing bulk InAs1-xSb x layers and AlInAsSb barriers were grown on GaSb substrates. The lattice mismatch (up to 2.1) between the GaSb substrates and the InAsSb layers was accommodated by the growth of GaInSb linearly graded buffers. The 1 μm thick InAsSb0.44 layer with an absorption edge above 9 μm exhibited an in-plane residual strain of about 0.08. InAs1-xSb x structures with x 0.2 and x 0.44 operated as light emitting diodes at 80 K demonstrated output powers of 90 μW and 8 μW at 5 μm and 8 μm, respectively.
