Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and more particularly, to a semiconductor laser device provided with a topological phonon state layer. Background Art

[0002] Lasers are widely used in fields such as laser display, laser television, laser projector, communication, medical treatment, weapon, guidance, ranging, spectral analysis, cutting, precision welding, high-density optical storage, etc. There are many types of lasers and various classification methods, mainly including solid-state, gas, liquid, semiconductor, and dye lasers; compared with other types of lasers, all-solid-state semiconductor lasers have the advantages of small size, 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, high brightness, and the output power of a single laser can be in the W level, while nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes are spontaneous emission, and the output power of a single light-emitting diode is in the mW 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 effect, and more serious electron-hole mismatch, leading to a more serious efficiency droop effect; 3) Light-emitting diodes undergo spontaneous transition radiation, which is incoherent light that jumps from a high energy level to a low energy level without external influence, while lasers are stimulated transition radiation, and the induced photon energy should be equal to the energy difference between the electron transitions, generating completely identical coherent light of photons and induced photons; 4) Different principles: Light-emitting diodes generate radiative recombination and light under the action of an external voltage, where electrons and holes jump to quantum wells or p-n junctions, while lasers require lasing conditions to be met, and must satisfy the condition of carrier population inversion distribution in the active region. The stimulated radiation 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. Nitride semiconductor lasers have the following problems: 1) Large internal lattice mismatch and large strain cause a strong polarization effect, and the strong QCSE (Quantum Confined Stark Effect) severely limits the improvement of the electrical lasing gain of lasers; 2) The Mg acceptor activation energy of p-type semiconductors is large, the ionization efficiency is low, the hole concentration is much lower than the electron concentration, and the hole mobility is much smaller than the electron mobility, resulting in severe asymmetry and mismatch of 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, broadening of the laser gain spectrum, and a decrease in peak gain. 3) The valence band offset of the laser increases, making it more difficult for holes to transport in the quantum well, uneven carrier injection, and uneven gain.
