Abstract(in English) The temporally and spatially resolved photoluminescence (PL) mappings under the various carrier densities have been performed for a green emitting InGaN/GaN single quantum well (SQW) by scanning near-field microscopy (SNOM) at room temperature to clarify the efficiency droop phenomena. The PL intensity mapping shows that the strong PL intensity domains, sizes of which were several hundred nm and were surrounded by weak PL intensity domains. The time resolved PL results revealed that carriers diffuse out of the probe aperture under high excitation condition at the strong PL intensity domains. Moreover, macroscopic PL measurements under the same high excitation density showed faster nonradiative recombination processes and saturation of the PL intensity, which suggest efficiency droop. These findings led us to a conclusion that the main factor of efficiency droop is carrier migration from the strong PL intensity area to weak one, which is enhanced under the high photoexcitation condition.
