Quantitative optical measurements wereperformed using two different techniques based on luminescencefrom the InP: first, by degree of polarization ofphotoluminescence; and second, by cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. The two techniques provide complementary information on deformation of the InP and thus together provide a means to evaluate approaches to simulation of the deformation owing to dielectric stripes. Ultimately, these deformations can be used to estimate changes in refractive index and gain that are a result of the stripes PB Optical Society of America YR 2018 FD 2018 LK http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/31318 UL http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/31318 LA eng NO Optics Letters, Vol. 43, No. 15 DS UVaDOC RD 25-nov-2024
