This work reports a detailed study of the bound exciton recombination energy measured by low temperature (7K) photoluminescence, as a function of the relative lattice mismatch between the InGaAs epitaxial layers and the substrate measured by double crystal x-ray diffraction. Nominally undoped lμm and 2μm epitaxial layers of InGaAs/InP were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). All InGaAs epitaxial layers used in this study show a single narrow rocking curve peak (FWHM < 25 arc-sec) and only a single narrow PL peak (FWHM < 2.5 meV). Near lattice match the PL energy varies linearly with the mismatch but the absolute value of the PL energy at lattice match is a function of the type of substrate used.
