Junction–temperature measurement in GaN ultraviolet light-emitting diodes using diode forward voltage method
A theoretical model for the dependence of the diode forward voltage (Vf) on junction temperature (Tj) is developed. An expression for dVf/dT is derived that takes into account all relevant contributio...

All-epitaxial mode-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser
A type of AlGaAs/GaAs-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is demonstrated that creates a strongly-confined optical mode in an all-epitaxial heterostructure. The mode-confining region in this ...

Continuous-wave (cw) operation of quantum-cascade lasers emitting at lambda~4.8  µm is reported up to a temperature of 323  K. Accurate control of layer thickness and strain-balanced material composition is demonstrated using x-ray diffraction. cw output power is reported to be in excess of 370  mW per facet at 293  K, and 38  mW per facet at 323  K. Room-temperature average power measurements are demonstrated with over 600  mW per facet at 50% duty cycle with over 300  mW still observed at 100% (cw) duty cycle. ©2004 American Institute of Physics
