ABSTRACT

The PC spectra for the incident radiation at different polarization angles are shown in Fig.3. We can also see that the PC spectra display a strong polarization dependence. Since the energy that corresponds to the spatially indirect transition in the GaAsSb/GaAs multiple quantum wells is about 1 eV, we therefore choose the photoresponse signal at around 1 eV to analyze the polarization behavior. Using the same definition of the polarization degrees defined for the PL spectra, we obtain that the value of P can also be as high as 40%. In addition, we can see that the polarization dependence of the PC spectra covers a wide range of wavelengths as shown in Fig.3. Figure 4. shows the polarization dependence of the PC response at around 1 eV. The data can also be described by the cos28 rule. The maximum and minimum signal correspond to the polarization along (011) and (o T 1), respectively, which is similar to the behavior of the PL spectra. It indicates that the anisotropic PC response arises from
