Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and particularly to a semiconductor light-emitting structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A vertical external cavity surface emitting semiconductor laser (VECSEL) combines a semiconductor gain medium with an optical resonator, overcoming the limitation of the mode area of traditional semiconductor lasers. It can achieve single-mode output with high output power and high beam quality, and is a new solution for realizing high-brightness lasers. With the urgent needs of applications such as laser display, laser medicine, and laser detection, it is required that the vertical external cavity surface emitting semiconductor laser operates in some special wavelength bands, such as ultraviolet, visible light, and even mid-infrared and far-infrared regions. However, limited by the current semiconductor material gain, it is difficult to achieve direct and efficient gain in the above wavelength bands. Therefore, processes such as nonlinear frequency conversion, such as frequency doubling, sum frequency, and difference frequency, need to be introduced. The structure of nonlinear frequency conversion in current vertical external cavity surface emitting semiconductor lasers generally uses a traditional optical resonator, inserting a nonlinear crystal and large-volume optical components in the spatial optical path.

[0020] In the semiconductor light-emitting structure according to the embodiment of the present application, a second film system 3 is provided between the nonlinear crystal 4 and the semiconductor gain layer 2. The reflectivity of the second film system 3 to the frequency-converted light is higher than that of the third film system 5 to the frequency-converted light. The second film system 3 blocks the transmission of the frequency-converted light to the semiconductor gain layer 2 and blocks the absorption of the frequency-converted light by the semiconductor gain layer 2, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the frequency-converted light. The reflectivity of the second film system 3 to the fundamental frequency light is less than that of the first film system 1 to the fundamental frequency light and less than that of the third film system 5 to the fundamental frequency light, reducing the reflection of the fundamental frequency light at the interface between the semiconductor gain layer 2 and the nonlinear crystal 4, so that a first resonant cavity A for the fundamental frequency light is formed between the first film system 1 and the third film system 5, increasing the cavity length of the fundamental frequency light, and further increasing the diffraction loss of the high-order mode of the fundamental frequency light, which is beneficial to improving the fundamental mode output characteristics and beam quality of the fundamental frequency light. Since the nonlinear crystal 4 is integrated inside the first resonant cavity A, the volume of the semiconductor light-emitting structure is greatly reduced, realizing a high-brightness and lightweight design.
[0021] The semiconductor light-emitting structure is a surface-emitting semiconductor light-emitting device, such as a surface-emitting semiconductor laser.

Taking the fundamental frequency light with a wavelength of 980 nm as an example, it can be seen that when the wavelength of the fundamental frequency light is 980 nm, the reflectivity of the first film system 1 can reach more than 98%. That is, the reflectivity of the first film system 1 to the fundamental frequency light with a wavelength of 980 nm is greater than or equal to 98%. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the schematic diagram of the mechanism for converting the fundamental frequency light into the frequency-converted light by using the second harmonic generation mechanism is shown.
