Stimulated emission in GaN-based laser diodes far below the threshold region.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We identify that the stimulated emission of GaN laser diodes (LDs) emerges far below the traditionally recognized threshold from both optical and electrical experiments. Below the threshold, the linear-polarized stimulated emission has been the dominating part of overall emission and closely related to resonant cavity. Its intensity increases super linearly with current while that of spontaneous emission increases almost linearly. Moreover, the separation of quasi-Fermi levels of electrons and holes across the active region has already exceeded the photon emission energy, namely, realized the population-inversion.

Optical properties of GaInP/GaAs:Er,O/GaInP double heterostructure (DH) laser diodes (LDs) grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) were investigated. The Er-doped LDs showed laser emission of the GaAs band-edge. The threshold current density (Jth) was 3.6 kA/cm on the n-type GaAs substrates and 15.8 kA/cm on the p-type at 77 K. The Er-doped LDs on the n-type substrate showed a stron...

Threshold current density and differential slope efficiency as function of end-mirror reflectance have been measured to estimate the internal losses of GaN-based laser diodes. An Al-coated fiber tip is used as an external micro-mirror to vary the reflectance of the end facets allowing for a continuous adjustment of mirror losses of a particular laser. The effective reflectance of the external r...
