  • Abstract
    We investigated the degradation modes in the aging processes of (Al, In)GaN laser diodes on bulk GaN substrates of the dislocation density less than 5times106 cm-2. The estimated lifetime exceeds 2,000 h under 160 mW pulse-operation at 60degC. The lifetime-limiting degradation is attributed to nonradiative recombination related with the defects extended from GaN substrates.
