Abstract

Laser and optical properties of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well heterostructures were investigated as functions of temperature (T = 80 - 450 K) and excitation intensity (Iexc = 10 - 1100 kW/cm2) of the N2 laser radiation. Laser action was achieved in all types of the MQWs from the violet up to the blue spectral region (λlas = 405 - 470 nm). The laser threshold at room temperature was 35 - 100 kW/cm2 and 70 - 150 kW/cm2 for the "violet" and "blue" lasers, correspondingly. The characteristics temperature in the temperature range of 80 - 220 K was T0 - 180 K for the "violet" and T0 - 530 K for the "blue" lasers. The T0 was lower for all types of lasers at T>250 K. It was shown that the overheating of the active region under high excitation intensities can reach 40 - 100 K and it is due to inherent laser radiation.
