Green resonant-cavity light-emitting diode (RCLED) has great potential in optical communication but suffers low efficiency. In this study, GaN-based flip-chip green RCLED incorporated with nitrogen face-oriented inclination asymmetric trapezoidal quantum wells (NOAT-QWs) is proposed to enhance the light-output power (LOP). Samples with NOAT-QWs and normal symmetric square quantum wells (SS-QWs) were fabricated and characterized. Although their electrical characteristics and emission spectra are similar, the LOP and emission efficiency are significantly improved. At a driving current of 450 mA, the improvement of LOP for RCLED with NOAT-QWs can be as high as 1.44 times in comparison to the sample with SS-QWs. The unprecedented high output power of 115 mW and the narrow full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of 6.4 nm in the emission spectrum give great potential in optical communication. The inherent mechanism was investigated by the finite element analysis, from which the simulation results match well with the experimental measurements. The simulation results reveal that the NOAT-QWs are beneficial in alleviating the quantum confined stark effect and facilitating easier hole carriers' flow across the barriers, leading to more electron-hole wave function overlaps and higher radiative recombination rate.

We demonstrate the first electrically injected GaN-based VCSEL with a TiO2 high-contrast grating (HCG) as the top mirror. The TiO2-HCG rested directly on the n-GaN without an airgap for mechanical stability. A VCSEL with an aperture diameter of 10 mu m had a threshold current of 25 mA under pulsed operation at room temperature. Multiple longitudinal modes coexist around 400 nm, each TM-polarized with a linewidth of 0.5 nm (spectral resolution limited). This first demonstration of a TiO2-HCG VCSEL offers a new route to achieve polarization pinning and could also allow additional benefits such as post-growth setting of resonance wavelength.

Strains and V-shaped pits are essential factors for determining the efficiency of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this study, we systematically analyzed GaN LED structures on patterned sapphire substrates (PSSs) with two types of growth temperature employed for prestrained layers and three different thickness of n-type GaN layers by using cathodoluminescence (CL), microphotoluminescence (PL), and depth-resolved confocal Raman spectroscopy. The results indicated that V-pits formation situation can be analyzed using CL. From the emission peak intensity ratio of prestrained layers and multiple quantum wells (MQWs) in the CL spectrum, information regarding strain relaxation between prestrained layers and MQWs was determined. Furthermore, micro-PL and depth-resolved confocal Raman spectroscopy were employed to validate the results obtained from CL measurements. The growth conditions of prestrained layers played a dominant role in the determination of LED performance. The benefit of the thick layer of n-GaN was the strain reduction, which was counteracted by an increase in light absorption in thick n-type doped layers. Consequently, the most satisfactory LED performance was observed in a structure with relatively lower growth temperature of prestrained layers that exhibited larger V-pits, leading to higher strain relaxation and thinner n-type GaN layers, which prevent light absorption caused by n-type GaN layers.

We demonstrate the first electrically injected GaNbased vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with a TiO2 high-index-contrast grating (HCG) as the top mirror. Replacing the top distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) with an HCG offers substantial thickness reduction, polarization-pinning, and setting of the resonance wavelength by the grating parameters. Conventional HCGs are usually suspended in the low refractive index material, such as air, in order to create the largest refractive index contrast. However, the mechanical stability of such structures can be questioned and creating free-hanging GaN-membrane on top of GaN is problematic. We have therefore fabricated TiO2-HCGs resting directly on GaN without an air-gap. No DBR layers are used below the HCG to boost the reflectivity. A VCSEL with an aperture diameter of 10 mu m shows a threshold current of 25 mA under pulsed operation at room temperature. The lasing modes locate around 400 nm and are transversely electrically -polarized with a line width of 0.5 nm. The full-width half-maximum beam divergence is 10 degrees. This demonstration of a TiO2-HCG VCSEL offers a new route to achieve polarization pinning and could also allow additional benefits such as postgrowth setting of the resonance wavelength.

Whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasers and resonators are key building blocks for photonic integrated circuits. The quality factor and resonant wavelength are strong functions of the cavity size. Nanoscale WGM cavities suffer from a low-quality factor due to prominent scattering loss. However, the quality factor could be enhanced by forming an optically-coupled rod array or photonic molecules. Through simulations, we revealed how rod-to-rod optical coupling influenced the threshold pumping level and dominant mode selection, where the trend showed good agreement with the experimental observation. According to the simulation, the quality factor could be enhanced by up to eight times by forming a six-rod photonic molecule. The quality factor and effective mode were both superior to the single rods with the same wafer device footprint.

In this paper, nonpolar a-plane GaN-based photonic crystals (PCs) with different defect cavities have been demonstrated. By using a micro-photoluminescence (mu-PL) system operated at 77 K, the dominant resonant modes of the GaN-based PC defect cavities show high quality factor (Q) values in the light emission performance which can be up to 4.3x10(3). Moreover, the degree of polarization (DOP) of the light emission from the nonpolar GaN-based PC defect cavities was measured to achieve around 64 % along the m crystalline direction.

The key issue for light emission strength of GaN-based LEDs is the high defect density and strain in MQWs causing the electric polarization fields. In this work, we construct 3D confocal microspectroscopy to clarify strain distribution and the relationship between photoluminescence (PL) intensity and pattern sapphire substrate (PSS). From 3D construction of E-2(high) Raman and PL mapping, the dislocation in MQW can be traced to the cone tip of PSS and the difference in E-2(high) Raman mapping between substrate and surface is also measured. The ability to measure strain change in 3D structure nondestructively can be applied to explore many structural problems of GaN-based optoelectronic devices.

This paper reviews the formation of nanoscale V-shaped pits on GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) grown by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system and studies the effect of V-shaped pits on quantum efficiency. Since V-pits could provide potential barriers around threading dislocations to lessen non-radiative recombinations in such a high defect environment. In our study, multiple InGaN/GaN quantum well samples with different emission wavelengths of 380, 420, 460, and 500 nm were grown, each with different nanoscale V-shaped pits of three diameters for 150, 200, and 250 nm, respectively. It was found that the multiple quantum well (MQW) sample with larger V-pits had a lower pit density, but a relatively larger total V-pits defected area. The optimum diameter of V-pits showing the highest quantum efficiency from the MQW sample depended on the emission wavelength. MQW samples with wavelengths of 380 and 500 nm exhibited the best internal quantum efficiency (IQE) performance at the smallest V-pits area; however, the best performance for MQW samples with wavelength around 420 and 460 nm occurred when large V-pit areas were presented. Photoluminescence (PL) peak shifts and Raman shifts can provide a relationship between quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) and IQE, as well as a comparison between strain and IQE. The results obtained in this phenomenological study shall provide a useful guide line in making high-performance GaN-based LEDs with wide emission spectra.

We report a GaN-based VCSEL with a high-contrast grating (HCG) as the top mirror. The HCG consisted of TiO2 and rested directly on the n-GaN without an airgap or the use of any DBR layers to boost the reflectivity. The full VCSEL structure was optically pumped at room temperature and showed a lasing threshold of approximately 0.69MW/cm(2) and a lasing wavelength at 369.1 nm. This first demonstration of lasing in a HCG GaN based VCSEL opens up the possibility to explore all the potential benefits of HCGs in the blue and ultraviolet spectral regime.
