Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, in particular to a semiconductor laser chip. 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 ultraviolet lasers have the advantages of small size, high efficiency, light weight, good 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, 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 ultraviolet lasers have the following problems: the lateral and transverse guidance mechanism and mode control of light waves are complex, which limits the improvement of beam quality. Ridge waveguide etching, resonant cavity cleavage, cavity surface coating and other process technologies are difficult, resulting in serious waveguide loss and resonant cavity light absorption loss.
