It is demonstrated that the emission of InAs quantum dots (QDs) capped with GaAsSb can be extended from 1.28 to 1.6 mu m by increasing the Sb composition of the capping layer from 14% to 26%. Photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy is applied to investigate the nature of this large redshift. The dominant mechanism is shown to be the formation of a type-II transition between an electron state in the InAs QDs and a hole state in the GaAsSb capping layer. The prospects for using these structures to fabricate 1.55 mu m injection lasers are discussed. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
