The influence of using InGaN waveguides on blue laser diodes was theoretically studied using 1D drift diffusion model and 2D optical mode calculation. Despite of the known effect of increased confinement of an optical mode, especially for long wavelengths, an unexpected influence on the efficiency of carrier injection into the active region is discussed. It is found that InGaN-AlGaN interface is crucial to achieving high injection efficiency. A numerical model is created, which describes the influence of InGaN waveguide and Mg doping of electron blocking layer on basic properties of laser diodes. It is found that an increase of injection efficiency allows to reduce the doping level in an electron blocking layer and take advantage of decreased optical losses.

A step-graded Al x Ga 1- x N electron blocking layer (EBL) is introduced to the InGaN -based edge-emitting blue-violet laser diode (LD) structure to suppress the undesired built-in interface polarization charges. When compared to a conventional abrupt Al 0.18 Ga 0.82 N EBL design, the step-graded Al x Ga 1- x N EBL design may help reduce the electron accumulation at the edge of the active region and hence improve the quantum efficiency in LD operation. The effects of the step-graded Al x Ga 1- x N EBL on the fabricated device performance are also investigated. LDs with the step-graded Al x Ga 1- x N EBL demonstrated significantly reduced threshold current density and increased slope efficiency under the continuous-wave operation.
