Abstrakt: We have investigated the band-to-band photoluminescence of In0.53Ga0.47As/AlAs0.56Sb0.44 quantum-cascade devices operating at λ∼4.3 μm, based either on normally grown or nominally As-terminated interfaces. This technique allowed us to probe the spatial distribution of conduction electrons as a function of the applied voltage and to correlate the quantum design of devices with their thermal performance.
