摘要
We have studied two types of InGaN laser diodes emitting at 410 and 440 nm. Each device was characterized by measuring light-current characteristics in two geometries for which the light was collected: along the resonator and perpendicularly to the cavity. In the first configuration, the 410 nm device displays no reduction of differential efficiency while 440 nm laser shows evidence of droop. In the perpendicular configuration both devices show the pronounced droop. We associate the suppression of the droop for 410 nm laser in the "along cavity" configuration with the appearance of the stimulated recombination.
