InGaN multi-quantum-well structure laser diodes grown on MgAl2O4 substrates

Abstract
InGaN multi‐quantum‐well (MQW) structure laser diodesfabricated from III‐V nitride materials were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on (111) MgAl2O4 substrates. The mirror facet for a laser cavity was formed by polishing III‐V nitride filmsgrown on (111) MgAl2O4 substrates. As an active layer, the InGaN MQW structure was used. The laser threshold current density was 8 kA/cm2. At a current above laser threshold, stimulated emission was observed with a sharp peak of light output at 410 nm that had a full width at half‐maximum of 2.1 nm under pulsed current injection at room temperature.
