Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronics technology, and more particularly to a blue laser. Background Technology

[0002] Lasers are widely used in laser displays, laser TVs, laser projectors, communications, medical applications, weaponry, guidance, ranging, spectral analysis, cutting, precision welding, and high-density optical storage. There are many types of lasers, and they can be classified in various ways, mainly including solid-state, gas, liquid, semiconductor, and dye lasers. Compared with other types of lasers, all-solid-state semiconductor lasers have advantages such as small size, high efficiency, light weight, good stability, long lifespan, simple and compact structure, and miniaturization.

[0003] There are significant differences between lasers and nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs): 1) Lasers are generated by stimulated emission of charge carriers, resulting in a narrow spectral width at half maximum (FW / HM) and very high brightness; a single laser can achieve output power in the W range. In contrast, nitride LEDs are generated through spontaneous emission, with output power in the mW range. 2) Lasers operate at current densities of up to kA / cm², more than two orders of magnitude higher than nitride LEDs. This leads to stronger electron leakage, more severe Auger recombination, stronger polarization effects, and more severe electron-hole mismatch, resulting in a more severe drop effect and efficiency degradation. 3) The LED... In a light-emitting diode (LED), spontaneous transition radiation occurs without external influence, producing incoherent light from a high energy level to a low energy level. In contrast, lasers emit stimulated transition radiation, where the energy of the induced photon must equal the energy difference between the electron and the transition energy levels to produce coherent light. 4) The principles differ: LEDs emit light through radiative recombination when electrons and holes transition to the active layer or pn junction under external voltage. Lasers, however, require specific lasing conditions to be met. Specifically, the active region must have a reversed carrier distribution, and the stimulated emission light oscillates within the resonant cavity. Propagation in the gain medium amplifies the light, satisfying the threshold condition to ensure the gain exceeds the loss, ultimately resulting in laser output. Existing lasers primarily use nitride semiconductor lasers. However, nitride semiconductor lasers suffer from strong piezoelectric polarization due to lattice mismatch and large strain, leading to increased bandgap in the valence band and difficulty in hole transport, ultimately limiting the laser's electro-lasing gain. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a blue laser according to an embodiment of the present invention. The blue laser includes a substrate 100, a lower confinement layer 101, a lower waveguide layer 103, an active layer 104, an upper waveguide layer 105, and an upper confinement layer 106 stacked sequentially from bottom to top. It also includes a first stress modulation layer 102a and a second stress modulation layer 102b. The lower confinement layer 101 includes a first lower confinement layer 101a and a second lower confinement layer 101b.

[0039] The lower limiting layer 101 is provided with a first lower limiting layer 101a, a first stress modulation layer 102a, and a second lower limiting layer 101b from bottom to top.

[0040] A second stress modulation layer 102b is disposed between the second lower confinement layer 101b and the lower waveguide layer 103;

[0041] The first stress modulation layer 102a and the second stress modulation layer 102b are used together to release the lattice mismatch stress between the substrate 100 and the lower confinement layer 101 and the thermal mismatch stress between the substrate 100 and the lower confinement layer 101.

[0042] Existing nitride semiconductor lasers suffer from strong piezoelectric polarization due to lattice mismatch and high strain in the active layer, resulting in a strong QCSE (Quantum Confinement SE) Stark effect. This increases the valence band gap, suppresses hole injection, and makes hole transport in the quantum well more difficult, leading to non-uniform carrier injection and gain, thus limiting the improvement of laser electro-lasing gain. Furthermore, the refractive index dispersion and high-concentration carrier concentration fluctuations affect the refractive index of the active layer, causing the confinement factor to decrease with increasing wavelength, resulting in a reduction in mode gain. In this embodiment, the first stress modulation layer 102a and the second stress modulation layer 102b together form a dual stress modulation layer 102, which modulates the lattice mismatch stress and thermal mismatch stress between the substrate 100 and the lower confinement layer 101. This effectively reduces epitaxial cracks in the blue laser, thereby controlling the lattice mismatch, improving refractive index dispersion, increasing the confinement factor, improving mode gain, suppressing mode leakage in the substrate 100, and even improving far-field FFP image quality.

[0045] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first stress modulation layer 102a is 10-600 nm; the thickness of the second stress modulation layer 102b is 20-800 nm; the thickness of the first lower confinement layer 101a is 100-6000 nm; and the thickness of the second lower confinement layer 101b is 50-5000 nm.

[0046] In an embodiment, the thickness of the first stress modulation layer 102a is less than the thickness of the second stress modulation layer 102b and the thickness of the second lower limiting layer 101b is less than the thickness of the first lower limiting layer 101a.

[0047] This invention modulates the lattice mismatch stress and thermal mismatch stress between the substrate and the lower confinement layer by adjusting the Al composition and thickness of each stress modulation layer and the lower confinement layer. This controls the stress changes between the substrate and the lower confinement layer, suppresses substrate mode leakage, and improves the electro-lasing gain of the green laser. Using embodiments of this invention, the stress modulation range can be controlled within -10% to 10%, reducing the epitaxial crack in the blue laser from 10mm at the edge to 0mm.

[0052] The second well layer is In q Ga 1-q N, where the thickness of the second well layer is 3-5 nm;

[0053] The third barrier layer is GaN, and the thickness of the third barrier layer is 2-5 nm;

[0054] The third well layer is In s Ga 1-s N, the thickness of the third well layer is 1-3 nm;

[0055] The fourth barrier layer is GaN, and the thickness of the fourth barrier layer is 0.5-3nm.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first barrier layer and the first well layer constitute the first active layer, the second barrier layer and the second well layer constitute the second active layer, the third barrier layer and the third well layer constitute the third active layer, and the fourth barrier layer is the last barrier layer; each barrier layer and each well layer together constitute the quantum well structure in the active layer 104, and the emission wavelength of the quantum well structure in this embodiment of the invention is 435-485nm.

[0058] This invention modulates the stress in the quantum well structure of the active layer by varying the In composition of each well layer, thereby suppressing substrate mode leakage and improving the electro-lasing gain of the green laser. Using embodiments of this invention, the stress modulation range in the active layer is -5% to 5%, enabling control over the laser piezoelectric polarization, laser refractive index dispersion, and even far-field FFP image quality.

[0059] In this embodiment, the thickness of the second well layer is less than the thickness of the third well layer and less than the thickness of the first well layer; the thickness of the fourth barrier layer is less than the thickness of the first barrier layer, less than the thickness of the second barrier layer, and less than the thickness of the third barrier layer.

[0060] The present invention further controls the stress of the quantum well by varying the thickness of each well layer and each barrier layer, thereby suppressing substrate mode leakage and improving the electro-lasing gain of the green laser.

[0061] In this embodiment, the lower waveguide layer 103 is InGaN, and the thickness of the lower waveguide layer 103 is 1-800nm.
