Abstract

Broad emission bands due to defects in (In,Ga,Al)N laser diodes operating at 440 nm are investigated using continuous-wave and pulsed currents. In addition to known yellow-green and short-wave infrared bands, defect emissions were observed even in the medium-wave infrared range. A separation from thermal radiation is possible. When using pulsed currents, a super-linearly increasing emission occurs at ∼1150 nm, which could be attributed to amplified spontaneous emission mainly due to the electroluminescence of deep defects in the optically active region. These results may be useful in interpreting the output power bottleneck of GaN-based lasers compared to mature GaAs-based lasers.
