Popis: We present the experimental results of time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in type II GaAs/GaAs0.64Sb0.36 quantum well heterostructures. At moderate optical excitation densities (below 103 W/cm2), we observe blue shift of the photoluminescence peak with increasing pump power which results from band bending at the type II heterointerface due to photo-excited charge carriers. With further increase in the excitation density, the observed peak undergoes red shift accompanied by significant drop in the luminescence decay time (from 10 ns to 1 ns) which is caused by extreme band bending and increasing contribution of type I radiative transitions to the photoluminescence signal.
