Abstract

In this work we present degradation studies of GaN based blue‐violet laser diodes grown on different substrates. By replacing the SiC substrate by GaN substrate, we change from hetero to homo epitaxy, while the threading dislocation density (TDD) is reduced by 3 orders of magnitude. A detailed analysis of small signal I –V curves shows an increase of non radiative (NR) recombination centers during aging for laser diodes on SiC substrate. This was not observed for lasers on GaN substrate due to the reduced TDD and therefore reduced number of diffusion channels for Mg‐atoms, acting as NR recombination centers in the active region. With an improved epitaxial structure on GaN substrate, we increased the lifetime of our lasers by a factor of 10. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract We present a process for high quality InGaN laser diodes on free standing GaN substrates with high reproducibility. We demonstrate a self‐aligned process to contact lasers with ridge width <2 μm. The stability of the process allows us to optimize the epitaxial structure on GaN substrate

## Abstract This paper reports the state of the art performance for blue–violet laser diodes (LD) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Improvements in device design and growth have resulted in a threshold current density of 3.6 kA/cm^2^, which translates into improved cw lifetime of up to 42 hours. Red

## Abstract In this work we present a reliability study of low dislocation density InGaN laser diodes fabricated on high‐pressure grown GaN monocrystaline substrates. The aging process was performed under pulse current conditions. Degradation of these devices manifests primarily in the increase of
