Abstract(in English) Fine-patterning of nitride semiconductors, which is a key material for optical applications in the short wavelength range, was performed, using a focused ion beam (FIB) technique. The etching characteristics were investigated and air/GaN distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirrors were fabricated. The root-mean-square roughness of the sidewall of etched area was measured by atomic force microscopy to be 0.5-0.8 nm. Namely, the etched surface was optically smooth, and so we fabricated air/GaN DBR mirrors at the end of laser cavities as a test structure. The internal loss factor was firstly evaluated to be 42 cm^<-1> and using this quantity the reflectivity of the fabricated DBR mirrors was estimated to be 62%, which was much higher than that of conventional facet mirrors (17%).
