Mid-infrared (4.20–4.84 μm) intersubband absorption in non-polar m-plane Al{sub 0.5}Ga{sub 0.5}N/GaN multiple-quantum wells is observed at room temperature. 10 period Al{sub 0.5}Ga{sub 0.5}N/GaN multiple-quantum wells were grown on free-standing m-plane GaN substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and the high-quality structural and optical properties are revealed by x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence studies. Through this we have demonstrated that MOCVD grown non-polar m-plane AlGaN/GaN quantum wells are a promising material for mid-infrared intersubband devices.
