NHN. HolonyakSBS. F. Bevacqua

Key Points

  • To demonstrate and characterize stimulated, coherent visible light emission from alloyed gallium arsenide phosphide p-n junctions.
  • Synthesized gallium arsenide phosphide crystals with varying arsenic-to-phosphorus ratios to tune the semiconductor band gap into the visible spectrum.
  • Fabricated semiconductor p-n junction diodes and applied high-density forward-bias electrical currents at cryogenic temperatures.
  • Achieved coherent stimulated light emission in the visible red wavelength spectrum from gallium arsenide phosphide junctions.
  • Observed spectral line narrowing and threshold current behavior characteristic of laser oscillation rather than spontaneous luminescence.
