Abstract

Negative luminescence (NL) at λmax=3.8 µm from reverse-biased p-InAsSbP/n-InAs diode heterostructures has been studied at temperatures of 70–180°C. The NL power increases with temperature and exceeds the power of direct-bias electroluminescence at temperatures over 110°C. An NL power of 5 mW/cm2, efficiency of 60%, and a conversion efficiency of 25 mW/(A cm2) have been obtained at 160°C.
