Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and particularly to a nitride semiconductor laser. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lasers are widely used in laser display, laser television, laser projector, communication, medical treatment, weapon, guidance, distance measurement, spectrum analysis, cutting, precision welding, high-density optical storage and other fields. There are many types of lasers, and the classification methods are also various. The main types include solid, gas, liquid, semiconductor and dye, etc. Compared with other types of lasers, all-solid-state semiconductor lasers have the advantages of small size, high efficiency, light weight, good stability, long service life, simple and compact structure, and small size.
[0003] There are great differences between lasers and nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes: 1) Laser is generated by stimulated radiation of carriers, with small spectral half-width and high brightness. The output power of a single laser can reach W level, while the output power of a single nitride semiconductor light-emitting diode is in mW level; 2) The current density of laser is up to KA / cm 2 , which is more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of nitride light-emitting diode, resulting in stronger electron leakage, more serious Auger recombination, stronger polarization effect and more serious electron-hole mismatch, leading to more serious efficiency droop effect; 3) Nitride light-emitting diode is spontaneously transitioned and radiated, with incoherent light from high energy level to low energy level without external action, while laser is stimulated transition and radiation, with coherent light of the same phase of generated photons and induced photons; 4) Different principles: nitride light-emitting diode is under the action of external voltage, and electron-hole transition occurs in quantum well or p-n junction to produce radiation recombination and light emission, while laser needs to meet the lasing conditions, and the carrier inversion distribution in the active region, the back-and-forth oscillation of stimulated radiation light in the resonant cavity, the propagation of light in the gain medium to make light amplification, and the threshold condition to make the gain greater than the loss, and finally output laser.
[0004] The nitride semiconductor laser has the following problems: the refractive index dispersion of the laser, the fluctuation of high-concentration carrier concentration affecting the refractive index of the active layer, and the decrease of the limitation factor with the increase of the wavelength, resulting in the decrease of the mode gain of the laser. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application provides a nitride semiconductor laser, which comprises, from bottom to top, a substrate, a lower cladding layer, a lower waveguide layer, an active layer, an upper waveguide layer, an electron blocking layer, and an upper cladding layer. The lower waveguide layer is a refractive index gradient lower waveguide layer, the refractive index of the lower waveguide layer decreases, and the trend curve of the decrease has a function y=C1+D1*x -d1a curve distribution in the third quadrant of the function f(d1), where d1 is an odd number and d1 > 1.
