Strained InGaAsP/InP single quantum wells grown by low pressure metalorgani
c vapor phase epitaxy are studied by photoluminescence. We demonstrate that
the analysis of the Arrhenius plot, specially modified to fit the temperat
ure dependence of the integrated photoluminescence intensity, can be used a
s a complementary technique in order to identify different optical transiti
ons that take place in more complex photoluminescence spectra. (C) 1999 Ame
