This paper reports the comprehensive characterization of a Ge0.92Sn0.08/Ge0.

86Sn0.14/Ge0.92Sn0.

08 single quantum well.By using a strain relaxed Ge0.92Sn0.

08 buffer, the direct bandgap PIVOT Arm Ge0.86Sn0.14 QW was achieved, which is unattainable by using only a Ge buffer.

Band structure calculations and optical transition analysis revealed that the quantum well features type-I band Wired alignment.The photoluminescence spectra showed dramatically increased quantum well peak intensity at lower temperature, confirming that the Ge0.86Sn0.

14 quantum well is a direct bandgap material.
