Static and dynamic properties of multi-section InGaN-based laser diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Julien Dorsaz, Antonino Francesco Castiglia, Jean-Michel Jacques Lamy, Dmitri Boiko, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni, Xi Zeng

We have studied multi-section InGaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) laser diodes grown on c-plane freestanding GaN substrate consisting of an absorber section (AS) and an amplifier gain section. As a result of the interplay between external bias applied to the ...

Optical bistability in InGaN-based multisection laser diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Julien Dorsaz, Dmitri Boiko, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni

Optical bistability is observed in cw-operating InGaN-based laser diodes including a saturable absorber (SA) section. The dependence of the light-current hysteresis on the SA section length and reverse bias (VSA) has been studied. An analytical approach is ...

Recombination coefficients of GaN-based laser diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Julien Dorsaz, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni

We measure the charge carrier recombination coefficients of InGaN quantum wells by analyzing the dynamical properties of (Al,In)GaN laser diodes emitting in the violet spectral range. Relaxation oscillations and turn-on delays are fitted to a rate equation ...

Self-Pulsation at Zero Absorber Bias in GaN-Based Multisection Laser Diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Julien Dorsaz, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni

We study the influence of pump current and absorber bias voltage on the pulse width and frequency of sustained pulsation in GaN-based multisection laser diodes. The observed frequencies and pulse widths range from 1.5 to 4.5GHz and 90 to 18 ps, respectivel ...

Bias-dependent absorption coefficient of the absorber section in GaN-based multisection laser diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Antonino Francesco Castiglia, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni

We measure the modal absorption coefficient of the InGaN quantum wells (QWs) in the absorber section of (Al,In)GaN multisection laser diodes as a function of bias voltage and photon energy using optical gain-spectroscopy. In the examined laser diodes, the ...

Broadband blue superluminescent light-emitting diodes based on GaN

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Julien Dorsaz, Eric Feltin, Antonino Francesco Castiglia, Gatien Cosendey, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni

We report on the achievement of III-nitride blue superluminescent light-emitting diodes on GaN substrates. The epitaxial structure includes an active region made of In0.12Ga0.88N quantum wells in a GaN/AlGaN waveguide. Superluminescence under cw operation ...
