Abstract :
In this work, we measured carrier lifetime (τc) and electron spin relaxation time (τs) in (110) GaAs/AlGaAs MQW microposts with special attention to those smaller than 2 μm using a pump probe-based time-resolved Kerr rotation (TRKR) technique. We also report the results of rate equation analysis in a micropost VCSEL using the measured τc and τs.
