Carrier overflow and perpendicular transverse mode in InGaN multi-quantum-well lasers have been analyzed by numerical calculation. A high acceptor concentration for the p-type cladding layer and the reduction of the active layer volume have a large effect on the reduction of carrier overflow. Anti-guide-like behavior of the waveguide mode is formed in InGaN laser structures where the cladding layers have insufficient thickness. The layer structure should be designed so as to reduce the carrier overflow and suppress the anti-guide-like mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
