摘要
High-power blue-violet laser diodes with aspect ratio as low as 2.3 and threshold current down to 33 mA have been realized. The relationship between threshold current and optical confinement factor was investigated in order to minimize the beam divergence angle perpendicular to the junction plane (theta(perpendicular to)). theta(perpendicular to) was found to decrease with reduction of the optical confinement factor, whereas threshold current density increased. A new layer structure, in which a p-typed cladding layer was located next to an AlGaN electron blocking layer, and a GaInN guiding layer was inserted between the active and the AlGaN electron blocking layer, was effective for obtaining small theta(perpendicular to) while maintaining low threshold current.
