Self-organized InAs islands on (001) GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy were annealed and characterized with photoluminescence (PL) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The PL spectra from the InAs islands demonstrated that annealing resulted in a blueshift in peak energy, a reduction in intensity, and a narrower linewidth in the PL peak. In addition, the TEM analysis revealed the relaxation of strain in some InAs islands with the introduction of the network of 90° dislocations. The correlation between the changes in the PL spectra and the relaxation of strain in InAs islands was discussed.
