Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and in particular to a nitride semiconductor blue light laser element. 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 reaches KA / cm2, 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 a quantum well or a pn junction to generate 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: high optical waveguide absorption loss, inherent carbon impurities in p-type semiconductors will compensate for acceptors and destroy p-type, etc., the p-type doping has a low ionization rate, and a large amount of unionized Mg acceptor impurities will cause internal optical losses to increase. In addition, the refractive index of the laser is dispersed, and the high-concentration carrier concentration fluctuations affect the refractive index of the active layer. The limitation factor decreases with increasing wavelength, resulting in a decrease in the mode gain of the laser. Summary of the invention
