Large-area ultraviolet GaN-based photonic quasicrystal laser with high-efficiency green color emission of semipolar {10-11} In0.3Ga0.7N/GaN multiple quantum wells

Abstract

In this study, a multi-color emission was observed from the large-area GaN-based photonic quasicrystal (PQC) nanopillar laser. The GaN PQC nanostructure was fabricated on an n-GaN layer by using nanoimprint lithographic technology. The regrown InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) formed a nanopyramid structure on top of the PQC nanopillars. A lasing action was observed at ultraviolet wavelengths with a low threshold power density of 24 mJ/cm2, and a green color emission from InGaN/GaN MQWs was also achieved simultaneously.
