The photoluminescence spectra of the single delta -doped AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic HEMTs with different thickness of spacer layer were studied. There are two peaks in the PL spectra of the structure corresponding to two sub-energy levels of the InGaAs quantum well. It was found that the photoluminescence intensity ratio of the two peaks changes with the spacer thickness of the pseudomorphic HEMTs. The reasons were discussed. The possible use of this phenomenon in optimization of pseudomorphic HEMTs was also proposed.
