摘要
InGaN multi-quantum-well-structure laser diodes (LDs) grown on GaN substrates were demonstrated. The LDs showed a small thermal resistance of 30 degrees C/W and a lifetime longer than 780 h despite a large threshold current density of 7 kA/cm(2). In contrast. the LDs grown on sapphire substrate exhibited a high thermal resistance of 60 degrees C/W and a short lifetime of 200 h under room-temperature continuous-wave operation.
