Systems and methods for improving the temperature performance of AlInGaP based light emitters. Nitrogen is added to the quantum wells in small quantities. Nitrogen is added in a range of about 0.5 percent to 2 percent. The addition of nitrogen increases the conduction band offset and increases the separation of the indirect conduction band. To keep the emission wavelength in a particular range, the concentration of In in the quantum wells may be decreased or the concentration of Al in the quantum wells may be increased. Because the depth of the quantum wells in the valence band is more than is required although the addition of nitrogen reduces the depth of the quantum wells in the valence band. The net result is an increase in the conduction band offset and an increase in the separation of the indirect conduction band. |
