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 displays, laser televisions, laser projectors, communications, medical treatment, weaponry, guidance, rangefinders, spectral analysis, cutting, precision welding, high-density optical storage, and other fields. There are many different types of lasers, classified in various ways, including solid-state, gas, liquid, semiconductor, and dye lasers. Compared with other types of lasers, all-solid-state semiconductor lasers offer advantages such as small size, high efficiency, light weight, excellent stability, long life, simple and compact structure, and miniaturization.

[0003] There are significant differences between lasers and nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes:

[0004] 1) Laser is generated by stimulated radiation of carriers, with a small spectral half-width and high brightness. The output power of a single laser can be in the W level, while nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes emit spontaneous radiation, 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. The energy of the induced photon should be equal to the difference in the energy level of the electron transition, and the photon and the induced photon are completely coherent light;

[0007] 4) Different principles: Light-emitting diodes generate radiative recombination light when electrons and holes jump to quantum wells or pn junctions under the action of external voltage, while lasers require that lasing conditions be met before lasing. The carrier inversion distribution in the active region must be met, 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 the p-type, 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 confinement factor decreases with increasing wavelength, resulting in a decrease in the mode gain of the laser. Summary of the Invention
