We report the first observation of stimulated emission from a GaN film grown by ion-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The observed near-UV optical emission power was a nonlinear function of the pump power density. The characteristics of the observed stimulated emission are similar to those observed recently from films grown with low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition techniques.
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.
