We present in this work a simple quantum well (QW) structure consisting of GaAs wells with AlGaAs barriers as a probe for measuring the performance of arsine purifiers within a metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy system. Comparisons between two different commercially available purifiers are based on the analysis of low-temperature photoluminescence emission spectra from thick QWs, grown on GaAs substrates misoriented slightly from (1 0 0). Neutral excitons emitted from these structures show extremely narrow linewidths, comparable with those that can be obtained by molecular beam epitaxy in an ultra-high vacuum environment, suggesting that purifications well below the 1 ppb level are needed to achieve high quality quantum well growth.
