Popis: Over the last decade, InAs/GaSb superlattice structures have become an increasingly important technology for infrared applications. By stacking two superlattice structures back-to-back with a conductive layer separating them, independently operable, dual color, cascaded InAs/GaSb superlattice light-emitting diodes were grown via molecular beam epitaxy on (100) GaSb substrates. An $8\times 8$ matrix of 48- $\mu \text{m}$ pitch pixels was fabricated using standard photolithography and wet-etch techniques. At 77 K, the emitted wavelengths are in the 3.2–4.2- and 4.2–5.2- $\mu \text{m}$ range, with peak wavelengths at 3.81 and $4.72~\mu \text{m}$ . In quasi-continuous operation, radiances in excess of 2 W/cm $^{\mathrm { {2}}}\,\cdot \,$ sr from the longer wave and 5 W/cm $^{\mathrm { {2}}}\,\cdot \,$ sr from the shorter wave emitters are achieved.
