摘要
We report on the room-temperature pulsed current operation of GaN-based laser diodes on a (11(2) over bar 0) (a-face) sapphire substrate grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP MOCVD). Ethyl biscyclopentadienyl magnesium (Et-Cp2Mg) and methyl silane (Me-SiH3) were used as precursors for dopants. The cavity mirror facets were formed by cleaving an a-face sapphire substrate along (<1(1)over bar>02) (r-face). The threshold current density was 41 kA/cm(2) and the operating voltage at the threshold was 35 V. Above the threshold, laser emission was observed at 411 nm.
