Popis: We have studied the influence of impurities in InGaN lasers. A magnesium background doping in InGaN quantum wells increases non-radiative recombination significantly. Consequently, internal quantum efficiency decreases causing a large drop in laser performance. Electroluminescence measurements over a wide current and temperature range were used to study magnesium-related radiative and non-radiative recombination processes. Defect-related processes are thermally activated. Quenching of EL-intensity increases with magnesium concentration and is attributed to increased non-radiative recombination as a result of thermal release of bound holes.
