摘要
We report a pn-junction ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) with peak emission at 363 nm using a-plane GaN-AlGaN multiple quantum wells over r-plane sapphire. The peak emission wavelength does not shift with increasing pump currents-therefore establishing the feasibility of high-efficiency non-polar light emitting devices.
