The authors have observed upconversion of photoluminescence in several partially ordered GaInP{sub 2} epilayers grown on [100] oriented GaAs substrates. They found that this upconversion occurs even when the excitation photon energy is below the bandgap of GaAs but near the electron-acceptor transitions at {approximately} 1.49 eV. A two-step two-photon absorption model in which the conduction band alignment at the GaAs/GaInP{sub 2} is of type 2 is proposed to explain the results.
