摘要
Room temperature (RT) pulsed operation of blue (420 nm) nitride-based multi-quantum well (MQW) laser diodes grown on c-plane sapphire substrates has been demonstrated. Atmospheric pressure MOCVD was used to grow the active region of the device which consisted of a 10 pair In0.21Ga0.79N (2.5 nm)/In0.07Ga0.93N (5 nm) InGaN MQW. Threshold current densities as low as 12.6 kA/cm(2) were observed for 10 x 1200 um lasers with uncoated reactive ion etched (RIE) facets. The emission is strongly TE polarized and has a sharp transition in the far-field pattern above threshold. Laser diodes were tested under pulsed conditions lasted up to 6h at room temperature.
