Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and in particular to a semiconductor blue light laser. Background Art
[0002] Lasers are widely used in laser display, laser TV, laser projector, communication, medical treatment, weapons, guidance, ranging, spectral analysis, cutting, precision welding, high-density optical storage and other fields. There are many types of lasers, and the classification methods are also diverse, mainly including solid, gas, liquid, semiconductor and dye types of 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.
[0003] There are big differences between lasers and nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes:
[0004] 1) Laser is generated by stimulated radiation of carriers, the spectrum half-width is small, the brightness is very high, and the output power of a single laser can be in the W level, while nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes are spontaneously radiated, and the output power of a single light-emitting diode is in the mW level;
[0005] 2) The current density of the laser is up to KA / cm 2 , which is more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of nitride light-emitting diodes, resulting in stronger electron leakage, more serious Auger recombination, stronger polarization effect, more serious electron-hole mismatch, and more serious efficiency attenuation Droop effect;
[0006] 3) The spontaneous transition radiation of the light-emitting diode is incoherent light that transitions from a high energy level to a low energy level without any external influence, while the laser is stimulated transition radiation, and the energy of the induced photon should be equal to the difference in the energy level of the electron transition, producing the same coherent light as the photon and the induced photon;
[0007] 4) Different principles: When an external voltage is applied to a light-emitting diode, electron holes jump to the active layer or pn junction to produce radiative recombination light, while a laser can only emit when the lasing conditions are met. The carrier distribution in the active region must be reversed, and the stimulated radiation light oscillates back and forth in the resonant cavity. The propagation in the gain medium amplifies the light, and the threshold condition is met so that the gain is greater than the loss, and finally the laser is output.
[0008] Nitride semiconductor lasers have the following problems: the refractive index dispersion of the laser, the fluctuation of high-concentration carrier concentration affects the refractive index of the active layer, and the confinement factor decreases with increasing wavelength, resulting in a decrease in the mode gain of the laser. The light field of the confinement layer is dissipated, and the light field mode leaks to the substrate to form a standing wave, which leads to low substrate mode suppression efficiency and poor far-field image FFP quality.

[0032] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages in the embodiments of the present application more clearly understood, the exemplary embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than an exhaustive list of all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a semiconductor blue laser, comprising a substrate 100, a lower confinement layer 101, a lower waveguide layer 102, an active layer 103, an upper waveguide layer 104, an electron blocking layer 105 and an upper confinement layer 106 arranged in sequence from bottom to top. A confinement factor enhancement layer 107 is arranged in the semiconductor blue laser.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the semiconductor blue laser is sequentially provided with a substrate 100, a lower confinement layer 101, a lower waveguide layer 102, an active layer 103, an upper waveguide layer 104, an electron blocking layer 105 and an upper confinement layer 106 from bottom to top. A confinement factor enhancement layer 107 is provided near the confinement layer of the semiconductor blue laser. The confinement factor enhancement layer 107 has distribution characteristics of electron effective mass, Philips ionization degree, dielectric constant and piezoelectric polarization coefficient to improve the performance of the semiconductor blue laser.
[0035] The effective mass of an electron is the effective mass of an electron. When describing the external force acting on an electron in a semiconductor, on the one hand, it is affected by the external force, and on the other hand, it interacts with the atoms and electrons inside the semiconductor, making it difficult to solve the relationship between force and speed. The introduction of effective mass can summarize the role of the internal potential field of the semiconductor, so that when solving the law of the semiconductor under the action of external force, the internal potential field effect can be ignored.
[0036] Philips ionicity is one of the basic physical parameters of GaN materials, which characterizes the ionization characteristics and electronic characteristic parameters of the material. The specific related concepts of Philips ionicity are described in detail in "JA Van Vechten. Quantum Dielectric Theory of Electronegativity in Covalent Systems. III. Pressure-Temperature Phase Diagrams, Heats of Mixing, and Distribution Coefficients [J]. Phys. Rev. B, 1973, 7: 1479-1507."
[0037] The dielectric constant refers to the energy generated by a part of the charge in a material with a lattice structure under the action of an electric field. It is a physical quantity that is linearly related to the intensity of the electric field. It is the dielectric constant of the internal potential change that occurs when an object generates a bias current in an electric field.
[0038] Piezoelectric polarization refers to the phenomenon that when some dielectrics are deformed by external forces in a certain direction, polarization will occur inside them, and opposite positive and negative charges will appear on their two opposite surfaces. When the external force is removed, it will return to an uncharged state. This phenomenon is called the positive piezoelectric effect. When the direction of the force changes, the polarity of the charge also changes. Conversely, when an electric field is applied in the polarization direction of the dielectric, these dielectrics will also deform. When the electric field is removed, the deformation of the dielectric disappears. This phenomenon is called the inverse piezoelectric effect.
[0039] By designing the distribution characteristics of the effective mass of electrons, Philips ionization degree, dielectric constant and piezoelectric polarization coefficient in the confinement factor enhancement layer 107, the confinement factor enhancement layer 107 can suppress the refractive index dispersion caused by the fluctuation of high-concentration carriers in the laser, suppress the problem of the reduction of the confinement factor caused by the wavelength enhancement, and improve the mode gain of the laser. At the same time, the confinement factor enhancement layer 107 can suppress the light field dissipation of the confinement layer, reduce the leakage of the light field mode to the substrate 100, reduce the focus spot size, and improve the confinement factor, beam quality factor and far-field image quality of the laser.
[0040] Further, in this embodiment, the confinement factor enhancement layer 107 includes a first sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107a, a second sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107b and a third sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107c. The first sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107a is arranged between the lower confinement layer 101 and the lower waveguide layer 102, and the second sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107b and the third sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107c are arranged between the upper confinement layer 106 and the electron blocking layer 105. The first sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107a, the second sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107b and the third sub-confinement factor enhancement layer 107c all have specific electron effective mass, Philips ionization degree, dielectric constant and piezoelectric polarization coefficient distribution characteristics, which will be described below respectively.
