Abstract

The material system AlGaN/AlN allows for light emitters in the deep UV range. This presentation focuses on a theoretical study of stimulated emission for this material system. High differential gain has been reported for both thin wells (below 3nm thickness) and thick wells (above 9nm thickness). The stimulated emission evolves from a complex interplay due to the presence of polarization charges at the hetero interfaces, strong excitonic effects, alloy fluctuations and the underlying semiconductor band structure. We discuss the impact of each of those contributions by a microscopic model, compare gain spectra to experimental data, and propose configurations for maximum material gain in deep UV lasers.
