Popis: In this study, AlGaN-based ultraviolet-B band laser diodes with 150-mW peak output power in pulsed operation were demonstrated at room temperature. The oscillation wavelength, differential quantum efficiency, and slope efficiency of a laser diode were 300 nm, 3.6%, and 0.15 W/A, respectively. These results were obtained by increasing the injection efficiency and decreasing the positive fixed polarization charge formed at the interface between a p-side waveguide layer and an electron blocking layer when polarization doping is formed in a p-AlGaN cladding layer.
