T. Kobayashi et al., ROOM-TEMPERATURE CONTINUOUS-WAVE OPERATION OF GAINN GAN MULTIQUANTUM-WELL LASER-DIODE/, Electronics Letters, 34(15), 1998, pp. 1494-1495
Continuous-wave operation at room temperature was demonstrated in a Ga
InN/GaN multiquantum well (MQW) laser grown by metal organic chemical
vapour deposition (MOCVD) using a horizontal reactor. The laser struct
ure was grown a (0001) c-plane sapphire substrate. A 1 mm long cavity
with a 4 mu m wide ridge stripe was formed by cleaving along the (11-2
0) plane of the GaInN/GaN epitaxial layers. Stimulated emission was ob
served at a wavelength of 411 nm with a threshold current density of 1
1.7kA/cm(2).
