Metro-area communication (fibre to the home) requires lasers emitting at 1.3 µm due to the zero dispersion and low loss of silica fibres at this wavelength. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) grown on GaAs offer the best performance and temperature stability at low cost. Amongst the different approaches to realise a GaAs based VCSEL, the GaAsSb/GaAs material system shows great potential and VCSEL operation at 1.3 µm has recently been demonstrated. The band alignment (type I or II) of the GaAsSb/GaAs interface is still a matter of discussion and of significant importance for the further development of devices. We employ electro-absorption spectroscopy on GaAsSb/GaAs structures. The spectra obtained are compared with those calculated for different offset situations using a sophisticated microscopic model accounting for Coulomb effects. The comparison indicates that our GaAsSb/GaAs quantum wells have an almost flat alignment of the conduction band.
