Popis: We perform dual-wavelength pump‐probe measurements on InGaAsP grown by He-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy with Be doping concentrations ranging from 0 to 6 10 18 cm ˇ3 . The material response times obtained vary from 1 to>70 ps depending on doping concentration, pump pulse energy, and probe wavelength. A two-trap-level rate equation model is presented to explain the various response times observed, and trap densities of 2:5 10 17 and 12 10 17 cm ˇ3 , electron-capture cross-sections of 12 10 ˇ15 and 2:8 10 ˇ15 cm 2 , and hole-capture cross-sections of 1:4 10 ˇ16 and 1:8 10 ˇ15 cm 2 are derived by fitting the experimental data. Dual-pulse pump‐probe measurements indicate that a fast repeated switching on a10 ps timescale using Be-doped materials can be achieved despite the slow hole-capture rate associated with one of the trap levels. ” 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
