ABSTRACTContinuous-wave (cw) indium-gallium nitride (InGaN) multiple-quantum-well (MQW) laser diodes (LDs) were successfully transferred from sapphire onto copper and diamond substrates using a two-step laser lift-off (LLO) process. Reduced threshold currents and increased differential quantum efficiencies were measured for LDs on Cu due to a 50% reduction of the thermal impedance. Light output for LDs on Cu was three times greater than comparable LDs on sapphire with a maximum output of 30 mW. Increased light output for LDs on diamond were also measure with a maximum output of 80 mW.

ABSTRACTThe performance characteristics are reported for continuous-wave (cw) InGaN multiple-quantum-well laser diodes grown on epitaxially laterally overgrown GaN on sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Room-temperature cw threshold currents as low as 41mA with operating voltages of 6.0V were obtained. The emission wavelength was near 400 nm with output powers greater than 20 mW per facet. Under cw conditions laser oscillation was observed up to 90°C. A significant reduction in thermal resistance was observed for laser diodes transferred from sapphire onto Cu substrates by excimer laser lift-off, resulting in increased cw output power of more than 100mW.

InGaN-based optoelectronics were integrated with dissimilar substrate materials using a novel thin-film laser lift-off (LLO) process. The LLO process was employed to integrate InGaN-based laser diodes (LDs) with Cu and diamond substrates. Separation of InGaN-based thin-film devices from their typical sapphire growth substrates was accomplished using a pulsed excimer laser in the ultraviolet regime incident through the transparent substrate. Characterization of the LDs before and after the sapphire substrate removal revealed no measurable degradation in device performance. Reduced threshold currents and increased differential quantum efficiences were measured for LDs on Cu due to a 50% reduction of the thermal impedence. Light output for LDs on Cu was two times greater than comparable LDs on sapphire with a maximum output of 100 mW. Increased light output for LDs on diamond was also measured with a maximum output of 80 mW.

ABSTRACTWe report metalorganic chemical vapor deposition-grown double heterostructure and multiple quantum well InAsSb/InAsSbP laser diodes emitting at 3 to 4 μm and light emitting diodes up to 5 μm. Maximum output power up to 1 W (from two facets) with differential efficiency above 70 % up to 150 K was obtained from a MQW laser with stripe width of 100 μm and cavity length of 700 μm for emitting wavelength of 3.6 μm at 90 K. Maximum operating temperature up to 220 K with threshold current density of 40 A/cm2 at 78 K were achieved from the double-heterostructure lasers emitting at 3.2 μm. The far-field beam divergence as narrow as 24° was achieved with the use of higher energy gap barrier layers, i.e., lower effective refractive index, in MQW active region. We also discuss the effect of composition-fluctuation in the InAsSb active region on the gain and threshold current of the lasers.
