摘要
The emission spectra of InGaN multi-quantum-well (MQW) laser diodes (LDs) under continuous-wave (CW) operation at room temperature (RT) showed periodic subband emissions with an energy separation of 2 meV. The peak wavelength of the laser emission was measured as a function of the operating current. The peak wavelength showed mode hopping toward higher energy with increasing operating current. Each single-mode laser omission was located at a peak of each periodic subband emission. These periodic subband emissions probably result from the transitions between the subband energy levels of the InGaN quantum dots formed from In-rich regions in the InGaN well layers. High-power InGaN MQW LDs with an output power of 40 mW were performed under RT CW operation. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
