Abstract
InGaN multi-quantum-well structure laser diodes with Al0.14Ga0.86N/GaN modulation doped strained-layer superlattice cladding layers grown on an epitaxially laterally overgrown GaN substrate were demonstrated to have an estimated lifetime of longer than 10,000 hours under continuous-wave operation at 20 degree(s)C. The activation energy of the lifetime was estimated to be 0.5 eV. With the operating current increasing above the threshold, a self- pulsation with a high frequency of 3.5 GHz was observed.
