Popis: AlGaInN violet laser diodes grown on GaN substrates have been studied. Waveguide simulations have been performed and perpendicular radiation angles have been investigated. A peculiar layer structure has been proposed to reduce the perpendicular radiation angle and compared with a conventional laser. The laser structure has an n-cladding layer consisting of three AlGaN films, the middle film of which has relatively high Al composition. A laser diode with an optimized structure has been fabricated. The threshold current density and slope efficiency have been 2.9 kA/cm2 and 1.4 W/A, respectively. The perpendicular radiation angle has been as small as 16.2°. The AlGaInN violet laser diode with a low aspect ratio of 1.6 and a small threshold current of 29 mA has been realized.
