Abstrakt: A long minority-carrier diffusion length and the transmission of Alx Ga1-x As luminescence through Alx Ga1-x As layers are identified as two processes causing the excitation of GaAs spectra through thick Alx Ga1-x As layers, as well as contributing to enhancements in low-temperature photoluminescence intensity observed in Alx Ga1-x As layers without GaAs substrates. A simple model for intensity enhancement due to below-band-gap photon recycling is introduced to explain the observed enhancements. Some features that uniquely distinguish below-band-gap photon recycling from the better known room-temperature process are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
