Two kinds of continuous-wave GaN-based ultraviolet laser diodes (LDs) operated at room temperature and with different emission wavelengths are demonstrated.The LDs epitaxial layers are grown on GaN substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition,with a 10 × 600 μm2 ridge waveguide structure.The electrical and optical characteristics of the ultraviolet LDs are investigated under direct-current injection at room temperature.The stimulated emission peak wavelength of first LD is 392.9 nm,the threshold current density and voltage is 1.5 kA/cm2 and 5.0 V,respectively.The output light power is 80 mW under the 4.0 kA/cm2 injection current density.The stimulated emission peak wavelength of second LD is 381.9 nm,the threshold current density the voltage is 2.8 kA/cm2 and 5.5 V,respectively.The output light power is 14 mW under a 4.0 kA/cm2 injection current density.
