ABSTRACTStimulated emission characteristics are examined for GaN-AlGaN separate-confinement quantum-well heterostructures grown by MOVPE on 4H-SiC substrates. We specifically focus on comparison of structures with different quantum well active region designs. Polarization resolved edge emission spectra and stimulated emission thresholds are obtained under optical pumping using a stripe excitation geometry. Stimulated emission characteristics are studied as a function of the number of quantum wells in the structure, and are correlated with surface photoluminescence properties. We find reduced stimulated emission thresholds and increased surface photoluminescence intensities as the number of quantum wells is reduced, with the best results obtained for a single-quantum-well structure. These results should provide useful information for the design of GaN-based quantum well lasers.

Absract:Temperature-dependent electroluminescence (EL) of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with peak emission energies ranging from 2.3 eV (green) to 3.3 eV (UV) has been studied over a wide temperature range (5-300 K). As the temperature is decreased from 300 K to 150 K, the EL intensity increases in all devices due to reduced nonradiative recombination and improved carrier confinement. However, LED operation at lower temperatures (150-5 K) is a strong function of In ratio in the active layer. For the green LEDs, emission intensity increases monotonically in the whole temperature range, while for the blue and UV LEDs, a remarkable decrease of the light output was observed, accompanied by a large redshift of the peak energy. The discrepancy can be attributed to various amounts of localization states caused by In composition fluctuation in the QW active regions. Based on a rate equation analysis, we find that the densities of the localized states in the green LEDs are more than two orders of magnitude higher than that in the UV LED. The large number of localized states in the green LEDs are crucial to maintain high-efficiency carrier capture at low temperatures.
