Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and more particularly, to a semiconductor laser element provided with a van der Waals nonlinear layer. Background Art
[0002] Lasers are widely used in the fields of laser display, laser TV, laser projector, communication, medical treatment, weapons, guidance, ranging, spectral analysis, cutting, precision welding, high-density optical storage, etc. There are many types of lasers, and the classification methods are also diverse. The main types include solid-state, gas, liquid, semiconductor, and dye lasers; compared with other types of lasers, all-solid-state semiconductor lasers have the advantages of small volume, high efficiency, light weight, good stability, long life, simple and compact structure, and miniaturization. There are significant differences between lasers and nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes. 1) Laser is generated by stimulated emission of carriers, with a relatively small spectral full width at half maximum, very high brightness, and the output power of a single laser can be in the watt level, while nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes are spontaneous emission, and the output power of a single light-emitting diode is in the milliwatt level; 2) The operating current density of lasers reaches kA / cm², which is more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of nitride light-emitting diodes, resulting in stronger electron leakage, more severe Auger recombination, stronger polarization effects, and more serious electron-hole mismatch, leading to a more serious efficiency droop effect; 3) The light-emitting diode undergoes spontaneous transition radiation, and without external action, it is incoherent light that transitions from a high energy level to a low energy level, while the laser is stimulated transition radiation, and the energy of the induced photon should be equal to the energy difference between the electron transitions, generating photons that are identical and coherent with the induced photons; 4) The principles are different: the light-emitting diode generates radiative recombination and emits light when electrons and holes transition to the quantum well or p-n junction under the action of an external voltage, while the laser can only lasing when the lasing conditions are met. It must satisfy the condition of carrier population inversion in the active region. The stimulated emission light oscillates back and forth in the resonant cavity, and the propagation in the gain medium amplifies the light. When the threshold condition is met, the gain is greater than the loss, and finally, laser light is output.The nitride semiconductor laser has the following problems: 1. When the In composition of the quantum well increases, In composition fluctuations and strain will occur, the gain spectrum of the laser will broaden, and the peak gain will decrease; when the In composition of the quantum well increases, the thermal stability becomes worse, and the growth of the high-temperature p-type semiconductor and the confinement layer will cause thermal degradation of the active layer, reducing the quality of the active layer and the interface quality; the high defect density inside the active layer, the large miscibility gap between InN and GaN, the phase separation and segregation of InN, thermal degradation, and the unsatisfactory crystal quality result in unsatisfactory quantum well quality and interface quality, increasing non-radiative recombination centers; 2. The Mg acceptor in the p-type semiconductor has a large activation energy and low ionization efficiency, the hole concentration is much lower than the electron concentration, the hole mobility is much smaller than the electron mobility, and problems such as the quantum well polarization electric field raising the hole injection barrier and the hole overflowing from the active layer lead to uneven hole injection and low efficiency, resulting in serious asymmetry and mismatch between electrons and holes in the quantum well, electron leakage and carrier delocalization, making it more difficult for holes to transport in the quantum well, uneven carrier injection, uneven gain, and at the same time, the gain spectrum of the laser broadens, the peak gain decreases, resulting in an increase in the threshold current of the laser and a decrease in the slope efficiency; 3. Increasing the thickness of the lower confinement layer can reduce the refractive index of the confinement layer, but increasing the thickness of the lower confinement layer will also lead to limited composition regulation range, and problems such as cracking, bending, and quality degradation are likely to occur; at the same time, there is light field dissipation, and the light field mode leaking to the substrate to form a standing wave will lead to low substrate mode suppression efficiency and poor far-field image FFP quality.
