An InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well structure grown by low pressure MOCVD on c-Al 2 O 3 substrate is investigated using spectral-time-resolved cathodoluminescence microscopy (CL). At 6 K the laterally integrated CL spectrum shows a very efficient blue emission from the InGaN multiple quantum well cen

β¦ Synopsis
We present the first experimental study of the exciton spin relaxation dynamics in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well structures after quasi-resonant picosecond excitation with linearly polarized light. Whereas short spin-relaxation times are generally expected in GaN-based bulk structures, for multiple quantum well structures we found long spin-relaxation times, around 100 ps, when the indium content was not too high. Our results suggest that the energy relaxation toward the radiative state can preserve the linear polarization of the exciton.

Lasing under optical pumping by N 2 -laser radiation in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well heterostructures grown in AIXTRON MOVPE reactors was achieved and investigated in the wavelength range of 450-470 nm. The laser operation wavelength depends most strongly on V/III ratio during quantum well barrie
