Nitride-based deep UV laser diodes (C09)

Subject Area Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term from 2012 to 2019
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 43659573
 
The goal of project C9 is to realize AlGaN MQW current-injection laser diodes emitting in the ultraviolet spectral region below 280 nm. We will focus on several key challenges including efficient carrier injection, low absorption loss waveguides, and strong lateral optical und current confinement. In the 3rd phase of the CRC the following novel approaches will be investigated: (1) buried heterostructure laser diodes with AlN or InAlN current apertures and lateral optical confinement layers, (2) tunnel junctions for efficient hole injection into AlGaN MQW active regions, (3) the development of 2D lateral hole injection layers in combination with a low loss dielectric upper cladding layer as well as (4) growth and fabrication of low defect density AlGaN MQW laser structures with focus on optimizing the optical gain profile and transverse mode confinement.
