摘要
We demonstrate a high power blue laser diode (LD) using indium tin oxide as a cladding layer on semipolar oriented GaN. These devices show peak output powers and external quantum efficiencies comparable to state-of-the-art commercial c-plane devices. Ridge waveguide LDs were fabricated on (20 (2) over bar(1) over bar) oriented GaN substrates using InGaN waveguiding layers and GaN cladding layers. At a lasing wavelength of 451nm at room temperature, an output power of 2.52W and an external quantum efficiency of 39% were measured from a single facet under a pulsed injection current of 2.34 A. The measured differential quantum efficiency was 50%. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
