摘要
Room-temperature (RT) pulsed operation of blue (420 mm) nitride-based multiquantum-well laser diodes grown on a-plane and c-plane sapphire substrates has been demonstrated. Structures investigated include etched and cleaved facets as well as doped and undoped quantum wells. A combination of atmospheric and low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition using a modified two-flow horizontal reactor was employed. Threshold current densities as low as 12.6 kA/cm(2) were observed for 10 x 1200 mu m lasers with uncoated reactive ion etched facets on c-plane sapphire, Cleaved facet lasers were also demonstrated with similar performance on a-plane sapphire. Laser diodes tested under pulsed conditions operated up to 6 h at RT, Lasing was achieved up to 95 degrees C and up to a 150-ns pulselength (RT), Threshold current increased with temperature with a characteristic temperature T-0 of 114 K.
