摘要
We have designed and implemented a vertical cavity violet light emitting diode which features an optical resonator composed of an in situ grown GaN/AlGaN DBR and a high reflectivity dielectric mirror. The active InGaN MQW medium is grown directly atop the AlGaN DBR and the structure includes an intracavity lateral current spreading layer based on a p(++)/n(++) InGaN/GaN tunnel junction. Electroluminescence shows directional emission, with modal linewidths as narrow as 0.6 nm. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
