Abstract :
Solid source molecular beam epitaxy with valved P cracker source is used for the first time to grow an AlGaInAs/InP distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The DBR shows a measured reflectivity of 98.78% for 25 pairs with a stop band of more than 100 nm. Current-voltage study shows a low drop of 4 mV/pair
