III-Nitride QD Lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
III-Nitrides QD lasers are studied in detail. Two types of QD structures are considered, GaN/AlxGa1-xN/AlN and InxGa1-xN/ In0.04Ga0.96N /GaN. Effects of: QD size; QD and WL composition; and doping are studied through the calculations of gain, threshold current, and intensity modulation bandwidth. It is shown that GaN QDs are less sensitive to size fluctuations. Bandwidth increases with doping and reducing QD size. The study covers approximately (300-600 nm) wavelength range.

III-nitride quantum dots for ultra-efficient solid-state lighting
P A P ER Abstract III-nitride light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) are ultimately limited in performance due to parasitic Auger recombination. For LEDs, the consequences are poor efficiencies at high current densities; for LDs, the consequences are high thresholds and limited efficiencies. Here, we present arguments for III-nitride quantum dots (QDs) as active regions for both LE...
متن کاملEnhanced Modulation and Noise Characteristics in 1.55 µm QD Lasers using Additional Optical Pumping
The modulation response, relative intensity noise (RIN) and frequency noise (FN) characteristics of quantum dot (QD) lasers are investigated theoretically in the presence of an external optical beam. Using small signal analysis of the rate equations for carriers and photons, it is demonstrated that by injecting excess carriers into the QDs excited state through optical pumping, the modulation r...
متن کاملTHEORY OF THE GAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF InGaN/AlGaN QD LASERS
We present a theoretical analysis of the gain characteristics of InGaN/AlGaN quantum dot (QD) lasers. We calculate the elastic strain distribution caused by the lattice mismatch between the QD and the barrier using an original method which takes into account the hexagonal symmetry of the structure’s elastic properties. The method is based on an analytical derivation of the Fourier transform of ...
متن کاملEnergy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...
متن کاملModeling and characterization of InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers grown using metal organic chemical vapor deposition
We report on the lasing characteristics of threeand five-stack InAs/GaAs quantum dot QD lasers grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. By increasing the number of stacked dot layers to 5, lasing was achieved from the ground state at 1135 nm for device lengths as short as 1.5 mm no reflectivity coatings . The unamplified spontaneous emission and Z ratio as a function of injection curre...
