Deep UV photoluminescence spectroscopy has been employed to study the optical properties of AlxGa1-xN alloys (0less than or equal toxless than or equal to1). The emission intensity with polarization of Eperpendicular toc and the degree of polarization were found to decrease with increasing x. This is a consequence of the fact that the dominant band edge emission in GaN (AlN) is with polarization of Eperpendicular toc(Eparallel toc). Our experimental results suggest that the decreased emission efficiency in AlxGa1-xN alloys and related UV emitters could also be related with their unique polarization property, i.e., the intensity of light emission with polarization of Eperpendicular toc decreases with x. It is thus concluded that UV emitters with AlGaN alloys as active layers have very different properties from InGaN and other semiconductor emitters. (C) 2004 Institute of Physics.
