The electro-optic properties of strained GaInAsSb/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) are investigated. A single QW p-i-n sample was grown by molecular beam epitaxy with antimony (Sb) pre-deposition technique. We numerically predict and experimentally verify a strong quantum confined Stark shift of 40 nm. We also predict a fast absorption recovery times crucial of high-speed optoelectronic devices mainly due to strong electron tunneling and thermionic emission. Predicted recovery times are corroborated by bias and temperature dependent time-resolved photoluminescence measurements indicating (≤30 ps) recovery times. This makes GaInAsSb QW an attractive material particularly for electroabsorption modulators and saturable absorbers.
