Abstract(in English) | InGaN is a semiconductor alloy material made of a mix of InN and GaN. InGaN can emit entire visible light by changing their alloy composition. On the other hand, it is well known that InGaN quantum well (QW) active layers have very large alloy compositional fluctuation and that density of states (DOS) has a tail with large localization energy due to the immiscibility of InN and GaN. Since optical gain characteristics are largely affected by these effects, it is very important to measure the waveguide loss of such fluctuated InGaN-QW. In this study, we have measured waveguide loss spectrum for an InGaN-QW laser diode (LD) structure. The loss spectrum for a conventional InGaP-QW red-light-emitting LD structure was also measured for comparison. It is observed that PL peak position difference between the surface and edge emissions is very large (~ 200 meV) in the InGaN LD sample while there is almost no difference in the InGaP LD sample. In addition, the absorption coefficient gradually rises from an energy much lower than the PL peak energy of surface emission in the InGaN LD sample while the coefficient sharply rises at nearly PL peak energy in the InGaP LD sample. These results show that the InGaN QW has a large waveguide loss. |
