Abstract

The GaAsSb/GaAs conduction band alignment is determined to be almost flat (weak type-I) in the 0.3 Sb mole fraction neighborhood where 1300nm emission is observed. Based on photoluminescence measurements and modeling the bandgap bowing parameter of pseudomorphic GaAsSb on GaAs is determined to be -2.0 eV with the bowing distributed 45% to the conduction band. Using these parameters the GaAsSb band edge energies are determined over the 0.0 to 0.5 Sb mole fraction range. The effect of band alignment on electron-hole overlap and wavelength extension is discussed.
