Heiman, Northeastern University, 6/1/2004I. IntroductionIn this experiment, the energy levels in a semiconductor quantum well structure are investigated usingthe technique of Photoluminescence (PL). A laser is used to photoexcite electrons in a GaAssemiconductor and when they spontaneously de-excite they emit luminescence. The luminescence isanalyzed with a spectrometer and the peaks in the spectra represent a direct measure of the energy levelsin the is a popular and useful semiconductor material. The importance of electronic devices using GaAsis second only to devices using the more ubiquitous semiconductor, Si.
