Abstract
A new technique for determining carrier diffusion lengths in direct gap semiconductors by cathodoluminescence measurement is presented. Ambipolar diffusion lengths are determined for GaAs quantum well material, bulk GaAs, and Al_xGa_(1-x)As with x up to 0.38. A large increase in the diffusion length is found as x approaches 0.38 and is attributed to an order of magnitude increase in lifetime.
