14 April 2006Simulation and design of optical gain in In(Al)GaN/GaN short wavelength lasers
In this contribution, microscopic simulation of optical gain in GaN-based short-wavelength lasers is presented. The model is used to perform a design study of different active regions, and to discuss the impact of inhomogeneous broadening, carrier-induced screening of the piezo charges, and well thickness on material gain and laser threshold current. As a reference, the model parameters are calibrated with temperature dependent Hakki-Paoli measurements of spectral gain. Excellent agreement between measurement and simulation is achieved, which gives the design studies a quantitative character.
