Abstract
We report on the carrier recombination mechanisms in dilute nitride Ga(NAsP)/GaP quantum well lasers. Spontaneous emission measurements show that defect-related recombination in the devices is less significant compared with other GaAs-based dilute nitride lasers. From temperature dependent measurements, we find that the threshold current density, J is dominated by non-radiative recombination process(es), which account for at least 91 of J at room temperature. The characteristic temperature, T (T ) is measured to be ∼104 K (∼99 K) around 200 K, which drops to ∼58 K ( ∼37 K) around room temperature. Hydrostatic pressure measurements reveal a strong increase of threshold current with increasing pressure. This implies that current leakage dominates carrier recombination which is also responsible for their low T and T values at room temperature. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
