Abstract

A 420 nm narrow stripe self-pulsating laser fabricated in the GaN material system is modelled. This laser structure is optimized for optical storage applications. This is done by optimizing the amount of absorption by varying the cavity length, stripe width and the width of the InGaN quantum wells. The results indicate that the 70 °C threshold can be achieved. Certain trade-offs are necessary to combine high temperature and low threshold current density operations. The reduced gain available in the short wavelength GaN materials results in optimized structure.
