Abstract

We have fabricated and characterized GaN-based vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) with a unique active region structure, in which three sets of InGaN asymmetric coupled quantum wells are placed in a half-wavelength (0.5λ) length. Lasing action was achieved under optical pumping at room temperature with a threshold pumping energy density of about 6.5mJ∕cm2. The laser emitted a blue light at 449.5nm with a narrow linewidth below 0.1nm and had a high spontaneous emission factor of about 3.0×10−2. The results indicate that this active region structure is useful in reducing the process difficulties and improving the threshold characteristics of GaN-based VCSELs.
