Abstract

We demonstrate the possibility of extending the spectral range of luminescence due to InAs quantum dots (QDs) in a GaAs matrix up to 1.7 μm. Realization of such a long wavelength emission is related to formation of lateral associations of QDs during InAs deposition at low substrate temperatures (∼320–400 °C).
