Popis: Novel broadband (Ga,Al)As/CaF2 Bragg mirrors have been grown on Si(1 1 1) substrates for the first time providing large reflectance bandwidth due to a high ratio of refractive indices. Two types of interface morphology have been observed: a rough one when growing (Ga,Al)As on CaF2 and a smooth one when growing CaF2 on (Ga,Al)As. The effect of surface flattening due to CaF2 overgrowth of (Ga,Al)As prevented the accumulation of interface roughness and provided a smoother surface of the top layer compared to that obtained from (1 0 0) oriented growth. Specular highly reflecting surfaces have been obtained showing no cracks. An absolute reflectance as high as 98% have been determined for a four pair Bragg mirror.
