    Notes: Laser action was observed in GaN pyramids under strong optical pumping at room temperature. The pyramids were laterally overgrown on a patterned GaN/AlN seeding layer grown on a (111) silicon substrate by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition. Each pyramid had a 15-μm-wide hexagonal base and was on average 15 μm in height. The pyramids were individually pumped, imaged, and spectrally analyzed through a high-magnification telescope system using a high-density pulsed excitation source. Under high levels of optical pumping, multimode laser at room temperature was observed. The integrated emission intensity for both spontaneous and lasing peaks was studied as a function of excitation power density. The effects of pyramid geometry and short-pulse excitation on the multimode nature of laser oscillations inside of the pyramids is discussed. This study suggests that GaN microstructures could potentially be used as pixel elements and high-density two-dimensional laser arrays. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present results of a time-resolved photoluminescence study of the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in AlxGa1−xN/GaN double heterostructures (DHs). The carrier dynamics including generation, diffusion, spontaneous recombination, and nonradiative relaxation were studied by examining the time decay of photoluminescence associated with the spontaneous recombination from the samples. The temporal evolution of the luminescence from the GaN active layers of the DH samples was found to be governed by a carrier–diffusion dominated capture process. The determination of the capture time for the carriers drift and diffusion into the GaN active region, in addition to the effective lifetimes of the spontaneous recombination for carriers in the AlGaN cladding layers and the GaN active region, allows an estimation of the diffusion constants for the minority carriers in the AlxGa1−xN cladding layers of the DHs. Our results yield a diffusion constant of 2.6 cm2/s for Al0.03Ga0.97N and 1.5 cm2/s for Al0.1Ga0.9N at 10 K. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the results of an experimental study on stimulated and spontaneous emission from high-quality single-crystal GaN films grown on 6H-SiC and (0001) sapphire substrates in the temperature range of 300–700 K. We observed edge-emitted stimulated emission (SE) at temperatures as high as 700 K for samples grown on both SiC and sapphire substrates. The energy position of the SE and spontaneous emission peaks were shown to shift linearly to longer wavelengths with temperature and empirical expressions for the energy positions are given. We demonstrate that the energy separation between the spontaneous and SE peaks gradually increases from 90 meV at 300 K to 200 meV at 700 K indicating that an electron-hole plasma is responsible for the SE mechanism in this temperature range. The temperature sensitivity of the SE threshold for different samples was studied and the characteristic temperature was found to be 173 K in the temperature range of 300–700 K for one of the samples studied. We suggest that the unique properties of SE in GaN thin films at high temperatures could potentially be utilized in optoelectronic devices. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the results of an experimental study of the stimulated emission (SE) properties of AlGaN epilayers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition under high optical excitation conditions in the temperature range of 30–300 K. The band gap and energy position of spontaneous and SE peaks were measured over the entire temperature range studied. Through an analysis of the temperature dependence of the relative energy positions and the SE threshold, combined with absorption and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, we estimated the carrier density at threshold to be ∼1019 cm−3 throughout the temperature range studied. Such a high carrier density indicates that an electron-hole plasma is responsible for the generation of gain in this material system from 30 to 300 K. Issues related to the development of short-wavelength AlGaN-based light emitting devices are discussed. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the results of an experimental study on near-threshold gain mechanisms in optically pumped GaN epilayers in the temperature range of 20–700 K. High-quality single-crystal GaN films grown on 6H–SiC and (0001) sapphire were used in this study. We show that the dominant near-threshold gain mechanism is inelastic exciton–exciton scattering for temperatures below ∼150 K, characterized by band-filling phenomena and a low stimulated emission (SE) threshold. An analysis of both the temperature dependence of the SE threshold and the relative shift between stimulated and band-edge-related emission indicates electron–hole plasma is the dominant gain mechanism for temperatures exceeding 150 K. Based on our results, we discuss possibilities of reducing the room-temperature lasing threshold in laser diode structures with a GaN active medium. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the results of an experimental study on efficient laser action in an optically pumped GaN/AlGaN separate-confinement heterostructure (SCH) in the temperature range of 10–300 K. The lasing threshold was measured to be as low as 15 kW/cm2 at 10 K and 105 kW/cm2 at room temperature. Strongly polarized (TE:TM≥300:1) lasing peaks were observed over the wavelength range of 358–367 nm. We found high-finesse lasing modes that originate from self-formed microcavities in the AlGaN and GaN layers. Through analysis of the relative shift between spontaneous emission and lasing peaks, combined with the temperature dependence of the lasing threshold, we conclude that exciton–exciton scattering is the dominant gain mechanism leading to low-threshold ultraviolet lasing in the GaN/AlGaN SCH over the entire temperature range studied. Based on our results, we discuss possibilities for the development of ultraviolet laser diodes with a GaN active medium. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present a technique for evaluating optical confinement in GaN-based lasing structures by studying their spectrally resolved near-field pattern under high optical excitation. Emission spectra were found to be strongly dependent on the position of the collection optics relative to the active region when the sample was excited above the lasing threshold. The spatially resolved spectra contain a modulation signature that can be used to deduce the optical confinement characteristics. We show that the observed index-guided modes result from multiple internal reflections at angles very close to the critical angle for total internal reflection between the semiconductor layers with different refractive indices. This technique was used to evaluate the degree of optical confinement in GaN epilayers and GaN/AlGaN separate confinement heterostructures. The implications of this study on the design of GaN-based laser diodes are discussed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Intrinsic excitonic transitions in GaN have been studied using a variety of spectroscopic measurements. Sharp spectral structures associated with intrinsic free excitons could be observed in photoluminescence, reflection, and absorption spectra. The energy positions of excitonic transitions in GaN epitaxial layers were found to be influenced by the residual strain resulting from lattice-parameter and thermal-expansion mismatches between the epilayers and the substrates. The values of the four principal deformation potentials of wurtzite GaN were derived by using the strain tensor components determined by x-ray measurements. The observation of spectral features involving the emission of LO phonons in absorption and photoluminescence excitation spectra at energies above exciton resonances indicate that a phonon-assisted indirect excitation process, which simultaneously generates a free exciton and a LO phonon, is a very significant and efficient process in GaN. The lifetime of the free excitons is found to be longer than the relaxation time of LO-phonon emission but much shorter than that of acoustic-phonon emission. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present the results of optical studies of InxGa1−xN alloys (0〈x〈0.2) grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on top of thick GaN epitaxial layers with sapphire as substrates. Photoluminescence (PL) and photoreflectance measurements were performed at various temperatures to determine the band gap and its variation as a function of temperature for samples with different indium concentrations. Carrier recombination dynamics in the alloy samples were studied using time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. While the measured decay time for the alloy near-band-edge PL emissions was observed to be generally around a few hundred picoseconds at 10 K, it was found that the decay time decreased rapidly as the sample temperatures increased. This indicates a strong influence of temperature on the processes of trapping and recombination of excited carriers at impurities and defects in the InGaN alloys. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
