Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an AlGaInP red light semiconductor laser device with a strained superlattice structure and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of optoelectronics. Background Art
[0002] AlGaInP red semiconductor lasers are characterized by their small size, light weight, low power consumption, direct modulation, high efficiency, and reliability. They hold broad application prospects in plastic optical fiber transmission for short-range all-optical networks, medical aesthetics, laser displays, and industrial measurement. However, the maximum conduction band energy gap in the AlGaInP laser material structure is only 270 meV, resulting in poor electron confinement. This leads to severe electron overflow from the active region into the P-type confinement layer, particularly as operating temperature increases. This electron overflow worsens, leading to an increase in threshold current, a decrease in slope efficiency, and ultimately an increase in operating current, which generates more waste heat. Thermal saturation, however, limits further increases in output power.
[0003] The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, Vol. 17(6), 2011, Pg 1723–1726, points out that reducing the threshold current density helps suppress carrier overflow. Using AlInP as the confinement layer maximizes the optical confinement factor, thereby reducing the threshold current density. Red semiconductor lasers typically use strained GaInP quantum wells or low-Al content AlGaInP quantum wells to achieve lasing wavelengths of 615-710 nm. The optimal growth conditions for the confinement layer and quantum well are different.
[0004] The Journal of Crystal Growth, Vol. 310, 2008, pp. 5175–5177, notes that the optimal processes for improving GaInP and AlGaInP growth quality differ. To improve material growth quality and achieve optimal performance, different growth conditions are required. However, process variations during growth, particularly temperature fluctuations, can easily induce stress or defects, as the matching flux and temperature at different temperatures is not strictly linear. This can lead to poor material growth quality, increased non-radiative recombination, and reduced threshold current density.
[0005] The literature Applied Physics Letters, Vol 58(17), 1991, Pg 1822–1824, points out that inserting a superlattice structure on both sides of the active region can effectively suppress non-radiative recombination at the interface and improve the quality of material growth. However, the original paper used AlInP / GaInP superlattice, which has Al component diffusion, such as growth at the quantum well interface, affecting the laser emission wavelength.
[0006] The IEEE photonics technology letters, Vol 3(5), 1991, Pg 397–399, states that the waveguide layer gradient and the addition of a low-Al composition stabilization layer to the waveguide layer at the quantum well can help lower the threshold and improve electrical parameters. However, the original paper stated that the waveguide stabilization layer had a stable composition and did not use a superlattice structure to improve material growth quality. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an AlGaInP red light semiconductor laser device with a strained superlattice structure;
[0008] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the AlGaInP red light semiconductor laser.
