摘 要:Green laser diodes(LDs)still perform worst among the visible and near-infrared spectrum range,which is called thegreen gap.Poor performance of green LDs is mainly related to the p-type Al Ga N cladding layer,which on one hand imposes large thermal budget on In Ga N quantum wells(QWs)during epitaxial growth,and on the other hand has poor electrical property especially when low growth temperature has to be *** demonstrate in this work that a hybrid LD structure with an indium tin oxide(ITO)p-cladding layer can achieve threshold current density as low as 1.6 k A∕cm^2,which is only one third of that of the conventional LD *** improvement is attributed to two benefits that are enabled by the ITO cladding *** is the reduced thermal budget imposed on QWs by reducing p-Al Ga N layer thickness,and the other is the increasing hole concentration since a low Al content p-Al Ga N cladding layer can be used in hybrid LD ***,the slope efficiency is increased by 25%and the operation voltage is reduced by 0.6 V for hybrid green *** a result,a 400 m W high-power green LD has been *** results indicate that a hybrid LD structure can pave the way toward high-performance green LDs.
