## Abstract ## Introduction: In previous studies we and others have demonstrated the usefulness of violet laser diodes (VLDs) as replacement laser sources for krypton‐ion lasers on stream‐in‐air cytometers. Previously available VLDs had a maximum available power of less than 25 mW; this was suffic

✦ Synopsis
We describe the construction and characterisation of a GaN violet laser diode in a compact, extended cavity geometry. Up to 3.5 mW of single frequency power at 392 nm is generated which is continuously tuneable over 6 GHz and coarsely tuneable over 2.7 nm. We place an upper limit on the linewidth of 5 MHz. The performance of the violet diode laser is compared to that of visible laser diodes in our extended cavity geometry. Possible spectroscopic applications are discussed.

## Abstract ## Background Low power violet laser diodes (VLDs) have been evaluated as potential replacements for water‐cooled argon‐ion and krypton‐ion ultraviolet and violet lasers for DNA content analysis using the Hoechst dyes and 4,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (Shapiro HMN, Perlmutter NG: Cytome
The laser performance of violet InGaN laser diodes is investigated numerically. The polarization-dependent properties, including overlap of electron and hole wavefunctions, threshold current, and slope efficiency, are studied through the use of step-like quantum well structure. Furthermore, the elec
