We report a study of digital alloy quantum wells of CdSe/ZnSe grown by
migration enhanced epitaxy. The quantum well regions consist of vario
us numbers of periods of one monolayer of CdSe and three monolayers of
ZnSe, and the barriers are ZnSe. It will be shown that the optical pr
operties of such quantum wells are greatly affected by the structural
quality of the digital alloy. Both structural and optical properties w
ill be discussed. Such digital alloy quantum wells are shown to have e
xcellent room temperature optical characteristics.
