GaN-based short wavelength laser diodes are the most promising key device for a digital versatile disk. We have been improving the important points of the laser diodes in terms of optical guiding layers, mirror facets. The continuous wave laser irradiation at room temperature could be achieved successfully by reducing the threshold current to 60 mA (4 kA/cm2). We have tried to apply the multi low temperature buffer layers to the laser diodes for the first time to reduce the crystal defects.

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.

ABSTRACTProperties of blue laser diodes based on ZnSe-related II-VI semiconductor heterostructures are reported. At 77 K, continuous-wave (cw) operation has been achieved for lasers emitting at wavelengths as short as 470.4 nm (2.635 eV), while pulsed laser emission has been observed up to ∼200 K, for samples with uncoated facets. Measured turn-on voltages for stimulated emission at 77 K were as low as 12 V for some of the laser diodes due to improved ohmic contacts. For some particular devices, differential quantum efficiencies as high as 36% per (uncoated) facet have been obtained at 77 K.

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.
