Nonpolar a-plane light-emitting diode with an in-situ SiNx interlayer on r-plane sapphire grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition

We report on the growth and fabrication of nonpolar a-plane light emitting diodes with an in-situ SiN_x interlayer grown between the undoped a-plane GaN buffer and Si-doped GaN layer. X-ray diffraction shows that the crystalline quality of the GaN buffer layer is greatly improved with the introduction of the SiN_x interlayer. The electrical properties are also improved. For example, electron mobility and sheet resistance are reduced from high resistance to 31.6 cm²/(V·s) and 460 Ω/口 respectively. Owing to the significant effect of the SiN_x interlayer, a-plane LEDs are realized. Electroluminescence of a nonpolar a-plane light-emitting diode with a wavelength of 488nm is demonstrated. The emission peak remains constant when the injection current increases to over 20 mA.     

光电耦合对InGaN/GaN量子阱光学性能的影响

围绕高性能GaN基垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSELs),设计了两种具有不同光电耦合强度的InGaN/GaN量子阱(QWs)样品,研究了它们的光学性质。样品A在腔模的两个波腹处各放置两个InGaN耦合量子阱,而样品B在腔模的一个波腹处放置5个InGaN耦合量子阱。计算表明样品A具有较大的相对光限制因子1.79,而样品B为1.47。光学测试发现样品A有着更高的内量子效率(IQE)和更高的辐射复合效率。使用两种样品制作了光泵VCSEL结构,在光激发下实现激射,其中基于样品A的VCSEL有着更低的激射阈值。结果表明有源区结构会显著影响量子阱与光场的耦合作用、外延片的内量子效率、辐射复合寿命和VCSEL激射阈值,同时也说明样品A的有源区结构更有利于制作低阈值的VCSEL器件。     

Silica-based microcavity fabricated by wet etching

Silica whispering gallery mode(WGM) microcavities were fabricated by the buffered oxide etcher and potassium hydroxide wet etching technique without any subsequent chemical or laser treatments. The silicon pedestal underneath was an octagonal pyramid, thus providing a pointed connection area with the top silica microdisk while weakly influencing the resonance modes. The sidewalls of our microdisks were wedge shaped, which was believed to be an advantage for the mode confinement. Efficient coupling from and to the 60 μm diameter microdisk structure was achieved using tapered optical fibres, exhibiting a quality factor of 1.5×10~4 near a wavelength of 1550 nm. Many resonance modes were observed, and double transverse electric modes were identified by theoretical calculations. The quality factor of the microdisks was also analysed to deduce the cavity roughness. The wet etching technique provides a more convenient avenue to fabricate WGM microdisks than conventional fabrication methods.

Invariable optical properties of phosphor-free white light-emitting diode under electrical stress

This paper reports that a dual-wavelength white light-emitting diode is fabricated by using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition method. Through a 200-hours’ current stress, the reverse leakage current of this light-emitting diode increases with the aging time, but the optical properties remained unchanged despite the enhanced reverse leakage current. Transmission electron microscopy and cathodeluminescence images show that indium atoms were assembled in and around V-shape pits with various compositions, which can be ascribed to the emitted white light. Evolution of cathodeluminescence intensities under electron irradiation is also performed. Combining cathodeluminescence intensi- ties under electron irradiation and above results, the increase of leakage channels and crystalline quality degradation are realized. Although leakage channels increase with aging, potential fluctuation caused by indium aggregation can effectively avoid the impact of leakage channels. Indium aggregation can be attributed to the mechanism of preventing optical degradation in phosphor-free white light-emitting diode.
