Abstract

The optical properties of MOVPE GaAs1-yNy (0 ≤y ≤ 3.7%) single layers and GaAsN/GaAs superlattices are studied using spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy. We analyse the dielectric function near the critical points E0, E1 and E11 using Adachi's critical-point model. For the layers and the GaAsN superlattice sublayers we observe the strong reduction of the band gap. Contrary to the red shift of the gap energy E0, the E1 and E11 energies are linearly blue shifted with increasing y. For 0 ≤y ≤1.65% the observed blueshift of the E1 energy is well explained by the combination of the effects of biaxial (001) strain and alloying. In the Raman spectra the redshift and broadening of the GaAs LO1 mode and the existence of the nitrogen local mode LO2 near 470 cm-1 have been detected.
