Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and more particularly to a gallium nitride-based semiconductor laser with a hole burning suppression layer. 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] Lasers and nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) differ significantly:

[0004] 1) Lasers are generated by stimulated emission of charge carriers. They have a small half-width at half-maximum and very high brightness. The output power of a single laser can be in the W range. In contrast, nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes are spontaneously emitted, and the output power of a single light-emitting diode is in the mW range.

[0005] 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. This results in stronger electron leakage, more severe Auger recombination, stronger polarization effect, and more severe electron-hole mismatch, leading to more severe efficiency degradation and the Droop effect.

[0006] 3) Light-emitting diodes emit spontaneous transition radiation, which is incoherent light that transitions from a high energy level to a low energy level without external influence. In contrast, lasers emit stimulated transition radiation, where the energy of the induced photon should be equal to the energy difference of the electron transition, producing coherent light that is identical to the induced photon.

[0007] 4) Different principles: Light emission diodes emit light by electrons and holes jumping to quantum wells or pn junctions under the action of external voltage, generating radiative recombination. Lasers, on the other hand, require certain lasing conditions to be met before they can emit light. This requires the carriers in the active region to be reversed, the stimulated emission light to oscillate back and forth in the resonant cavity, and the propagation in the gain medium to amplify the light. When the threshold condition is met, the gain is greater than the loss, and finally, laser light is output.

[0008] Nitride semiconductor lasers suffer from the following problems: The number of inverted particles generated by the laser exhibits a frequency distribution. Due to non-uniform broadening and saturation intensity issues, the particle number drops sharply at a certain frequency. The particle number in local resonant cavity spaces (antinodes) is consumed, while local spaces (nodes) still exist. This phenomenon is called the "hole burning effect" in the particle number or gain curve. The inversion of the particle number distribution in the active layer is spatially non-uniform, as is the spatial distribution of radiative recombination carrier concentration. The inversion of the number of interfering particles excited within the resonant cavity further reduces the number of inverted particles, causing frequency hole burning in the local gain spectrum and resulting in spatial hole burning. The gain curve decreases at that laser frequency, making the laser spectrum wider and containing several modes in the emitted light wave. As the current increases, stimulated emission intensifies, and the carrier concentration at the center of the active region decreases, also causing spatial hole burning in the local gain distribution and reducing the gain-guided waveguide effect.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes a gallium nitride-based semiconductor laser with a hole-hole suppression layer, comprising, from bottom to top, 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. A hole-hole suppression layer 107 is also provided in this gallium nitride-based semiconductor laser with a hole-hole suppression layer.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gallium nitride-based semiconductor laser with a hole-burning suppression layer is provided from bottom to top as follows: substrate 100, lower confinement layer 101, lower waveguide layer 102, active layer 103, upper waveguide layer 104, electron blocking layer 105, and upper confinement layer 106. The upper confinement layer 106 includes a first upper confinement layer 106a and a second upper confinement layer 106b, with the first upper confinement layer 106a located below the second upper confinement layer 106b. The electron blocking layer 105 is located between the first upper confinement layer 106a and the second upper confinement layer 106b. The upper waveguide layer 104 includes a first upper waveguide layer 104a and a second upper waveguide layer 104b, with the first upper waveguide layer 104a located below the second upper waveguide layer 104b. A first hole-burning suppression layer 107a is disposed between the first lower waveguide layer 102a and the lower confinement layer 101. A second hole burning suppression layer 107b is disposed between the second upper waveguide layer 104b and the first upper confinement layer 106a. The first hole burning suppression layer 107a and the second hole burning suppression layer 107b constitute the hole burning suppression layer 107.

[0064] In this embodiment, the lower waveguide layer 102, the upper waveguide layer 104, the electron blocking layer 105, the upper confinement layer 106, and the hole burning suppression layer 107, as well as the layers among them, all have certain Al element concentration distribution characteristics or In element concentration distribution characteristics.

[0065] Specifically, between the electron blocking layer 105 and the upper confinement layer 106, the Al element concentration of the electron blocking layer 105 is greater than or equal to the Al element concentration of the upper confinement layer 106.
