摘要
InGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) laser diodes were fabricated on a 6H-SiC substrate using low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (LP-MOVPE). Both threshold current and slope efficiency were improved by changing the MQW structure from five 2.5 nm wells to three 4 nm wells. The anomalously large improvement in slope efficiency suggested the presence of inhomogeneous hole injection. The use of high-reflection (WR) coating also reduced the threshold current. A threshold current of 500 mA was obtained as the minimum value under pulsed current injection at room temperature, corresponding to a threshold current density of 13 kA/cm(2). The maximum pulse duration of 1.5 mu s was obtained under 1 kHz repetition frequency. The number of lasing emission lines increased as the current increased above the threshold.
