Abstract :
In0.97Ga0.3As light emitting diodes were grown on p-type InAs substrates by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). These devises exhibit efficient infrared emission at 3.3 μm and can be used to fabricate infrared methane gas sensors for the cost-effective detection and monitoring of methane gas in various applications
