Abstract

Optical and structural properties of thick InGaN layers grown by MOCVD and MBE were studied by photoluminescence, optical transmission and Raman spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction analysis. Optical bandgap, Urbach energy, and full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of photoluminescence and Raman spectra depending on the InGaN alloy composition were determined experimentally. Minimal theoretical linewidth of photoluminescence spectra resulted from random distribution of In and Ga atoms in cation sublattice was calculated.
