Effect of thermal neutrons on emission characteristics of InGaAs/AlGaAs heterolasers
B. I. Makhsudov Tajik National University, Dushanbe
Abstract:
It is studied how the threshold current of InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well injection heterolasers emitting near the wavelength λ = 0.7 μm changes under irradiation by thermal neutrons. It is found that the threshold pump current decreases at small doses (10-2 neutron cm-2), while doses exceeding 6×107 neutron cm-2 cause an increase in this current and degradation of the structure. It is found that the main reasons for an increase in the threshold current at high irradiation doses are the nuclear reactions of the 49In115 (n,γ) → 49In116 type and the β-decay of the 49In116 isotope, which results in the appearance of 50Sn116 atoms.
