摘要
Stimulated emission was observed from optically pumped GaN quantum dots in an AlxGa1-xN separate confinement heterostructure fabricated on 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Nanostructural GaN quantum dots, with an average size of similar to 10 nm width, similar to 1-2 nm height, and density of similar to 10(11) cm(-2), were self-assembled on the AlxGa1-xN cladding layer surface. The stimulated emission peak was observed at similar to 3.48 eV, which is similar to 50 meV lower than that of spontaneous emission. The excitation power dependence on the emission intensity clearly indicates threshold pump power density of 0.75 MW/cm(2) for the onset of stimulated emission. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
