Book Description
The thesis describes growth and characterization of nitride-based quantum well structures for laser diodes emitting in the wavelength range between 400 nm and 450 nm. In order optimize the epitaxial growth process by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy and thus the performance of the laser diode structures, the material properties of the indium gallium nitride (InGaN) active region were correlated with device characteristics. By analyzing optically pumpable laser structures in a first step, growth conditions and growth schemes were revealed that prevent 3D growth and the formation of additional defects in the active region. In the next step, using growth parameter that provide a high material gain broad area current injection laser diodes emitting around 400 nm were realized on sapphire substrate. These devices feature threshold current densities in the range of 6 kA/cm² in pulsed operation. For laser diodes emitting at longer wavelengths, the heterostructure layout was optimized by comparing optical pumping results with device simulation. Using a layer sequence with increased modal gain, first broad area current injection laser diodes emitting around 440 nm were demonstrated. The structures were grown on low defect density bulk GaN substrates and exhibit threshold current densities of ~10 kA/cm² in pulsed operation. On the basis of these results further device and process development was started aiming for ridge waveguide laser structures operating continuous wave in the wavelength range between 400 and 450 nm.

Handbook of Advanced Lighting Technology
Author: Robert Karlicek
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783319001753
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Handbook of Advanced Lighting Technology is a major reference work on the subject of light source science and technology, with particular focus on solid-state light sources – LEDs and OLEDs – and the development of 'smart' or 'intelligent' lighting systems; and the integration of advanced light sources, sensors, and adaptive control architectures to provide tailored illumination which is 'fit to purpose.' The concept of smart lighting goes hand-in-hand with the development of solid-state light sources, which offer levels of control not previously available with conventional lighting systems. This has impact not only at the scale of the individual user, but also at an environmental and wider economic level. These advances have enabled and motivated significant research activity on the human factors of lighting, particularly related to the impact of lighting on healthcare and education, and the Handbook provides detailed reviews of work in these areas. The potential applications for smart lighting span the entire spectrum of technology, from domestic and commercial lighting, to breakthroughs in biotechnology, transportation, and light-based wireless communication. Whilst most current research globally is in the field of solid-state lighting, there is renewed interest in the development of conventional and non-conventional light sources for specific applications. This Handbook comprehensively reviews the basic physical principles and device technologies behind all light source types and includes discussion of the state-of-the-art. The book essentially breaks down into five major sections: Section 1: The physics, materials, and device technology of established, conventional, and emerging light sources, Section 2: The science and technology of solid-state (LED and OLED) light sources, Section 3: Driving, sensing and control, and the integration of these different technologies under the concept of smart lighting, Section 4: Human factors and applications, Section 5: Environmental and economic factors and implications

Book Description
This book is on recent experimental and theoretical progress in the rapidly growing field of III-V nitrides. Issues related to crystal growth (bulk and thin films), structure and microstructure, formation of defects, doping, alloying, formation of heterostructures, determination of physical properties and device fabrication and evaluation are addressed. Papers show much progress in the growth and understanding of III-V nitrides and in the production of optoelectronic devices based on these materials. Most exciting is the fact that light-emitting diodes and laser diodes have now reached amazing levels of performance which forecasts a revolution in lighting, optical storage, printing, and display technologies. Topics include: crystal growth- bulk growth, early stages of epitaxy; crystal growth- MOCVD; growth techniques - MBE and HVPE; novel substrates and growth techniques; structural properties; electronic properties; luminescence and recombination; characterization, elemental and stress analysis; physical modelling; device processing, implantation, annealing; device characterization, contacts, degradation; and injection laser diodes and applications.
