摘要
Continuous-wave operation at room-temperature has been demonstrated for InGaN multi-quantum-well (MQW) laser diodes (LDs) grown on low-dislocation-density n-GaN substrates with a backside n-contact. The current, current density and voltage at the lasing threshold were 144 mA, 10.9 kA/cm(2) and 10.5 V, respectively, for a 3 mu m wide ridge-geometry diode with high-reflection dielectric coated mirrors. Single-transverse-mode emission was observed in the far-field pattern of the LDs and the beam full width at half power in the parallel and perpendicular directions was 6 degrees and 25 degrees, respectively.
