摘要
Semipolar (11 (2) over bar2) plane III-nitride laser diodes (LDs) were realized on low extended defect density semipolar (11 (2) over bar2) GaN bulk substrates. The LD structures were grown by conventional atmospheric-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), using conditions similar to that of c-plane nitride device growth. The mirror facet for a laser cavity was formed by dry-etching of III-V nitride films without cleaving. Stimulated emission was observed at 426.9 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of less than 1 nm. The (11 (2) over bar2) plane laser diode had threshold currents (I(th)) of 306 mA, corresponding to a threshold current densities (J(th)) of 12.8 kA/cm(2).
