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.

ABSTRACTGaInAs/GaAs/GaInP multiquantum well laser structures have been grown by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) using conventional sources (hydrides as group V element sources). Large area lasers were photolitographically defined and mounted for continuous wave (CW) measurements. CW output power levels of 600 mW at 25°C are reported from 100 μm wide, 300 μm long laser diodes without any facet treatment. At these levels, the delivered current is 2A, with an associated voltage of less than 1.7 V. The characteristic temperature of the structure is 95 K.The same structures were then grown using tertiarybutylarsine (TBAs) and tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP). The large area laser diodes were characterized under pulsed conditions. For a 300 μm long cavity, threshold current density of 390 A/cm2 and external quantum efficiency of 0.6 W/A (2 facets) were obtained, demonstrating the suitability of TBP and TBAs as substitutes of arsine and phosphine in chemical beam epitaxy for laser fabrication.

ABSTRACTThe continuous-wave (CW) operation of InGaN multi-quantum-well-structure laser diodes (LDs) was demonstrated at room temperature (RT) with a lifetime of 35 hours. The threshold current and the voltage of the LDs were 80 mA and 5.5 V, respectively. The threshold current density was 3.6 kA/cm2. Longitudinal modes with a mode separation of 0.042 nm were observed under CW operation at RT. When the temperature of the LDs was varied, large mode hopping of the emission wavelength was observed. The carrier lifetime and the threshold carrier density were estimated to be 10 ns and 2 × 1020/cm3, respectively. The beam full width at half-power values for the parallel and the perpendicular near-field patterns were 1.6 µm and 0.8 µm, respectively. Those of the far-field patterns were 6.8° and 33.6°, respectively.

The continuous-wave (CW) operation of InGaN multi-quantum-well-structure laser diodes (LDs) was demonstrated at room temperature (RT) with a lifetime of 35 hours. The threshold current and the voltage of the LDs were 80 mA and 5.5 V, respectively. The threshold current density was 3.6 kA/cm2. When the temperature of the LDs was varied, large mode hopping of the emission wavelength was observed. The carrier lifetime and the threshold carrier density were estimated to be 2-10 ns and 1-2 × 1020/cm3, respectively. From the measurements of gain spectra and an external differential quantum efficiency dependence on the cavity length, the differential gain coefficient, the transparent carrier density, threshold gain and internal loss were estimated to be 5.8×10−17 cm2, 9.3×1019 cm−3, 5200 cm−1 and 43 cm−1, respectively.

Abstract In this work, we reported the room-temperature continuous-wave operation of 6.0 W GaN-based blue laser diode (LD), and its stimulated emission wavelength is around 442 nm. The GaN-based high power blue LD is grown on a c-plane GaN substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and the width and length of the ridge waveguide structure are 30 and 1200 μm, respectively. The threshold current is about 400 mA, and corresponding threshold current density is 1.1 kA/cm2.
