Popis: We demonstrate electrically driven InGaN based laser diodes (LDs), with a simple AlGaN-cladding-free epitaxial structure, grown on semipolar (2021) GaN substrates. The devices employed In0.06Ga0.94N waveguiding layers to provide transverse optical mode confinement. A maximum lasing wavelength of 506.4 nm was observed under pulsed operation, which is the longest reported for AlGaN-cladding-free III-nitride LDs. The threshold current density (Jth) for index-guided LDs with uncoated etched facets was 23 kA/cm2, and 19 kA/cm2 after application of high-reflectivity (HR) coatings. A characteristic temperature (T0) value of ~130 K and wavelength red-shift of ~0.05 nm/K were confirmed.
