摘要
Improvement in temperature characteristics' of GaN laser diodes is important for realizing reliable devices operating, at high. temperatures Thermal characteristics of GaN lasers have been analyzed by using a three-dimensional thermal conduction model. Maximum operation temperature has also been calculated. It was shown that the reduction in the stripe width as well as the reduction in threshold current density and operation voltage is very important for improving the temperature characteristics of GaN laser diodes.
