Abstract

New potentials are demonstrated for the application of scanning electron microscope methods to identifying heteroboundaries, monitoring the sharpness of interfaces, and determining the positions of p-n junctions in laser structures based on InAsSb/InAsSbP, including at low temperatures. The method permits optimization of the parameters of long-wavelength lasers and to obtain record low threshold currents (Ith≤25 mA at T=77 K) for lasing wavelengths λ=3–3.5 μm.
