Abstract

The pursuit of high-efficiency InGaN quantum wells (QWs) emitting in green spectral regime (λ∼ 520 nm) has tremendous impact for solid state lighting and green diode lasers. However, due to the existence of polarization field in InGaN QW, band bending in the QW leads to charge separation resulting in reduction of the electron-hole wave function overlap (Γe-hh) and the radiative recombination rate (∼|Γe-hh|2) in particular for green emission wavelength. Recently, several approaches are proposed to enhance the Γe-hh for the InGaN QW as follow 1) staggered InGaN QW [1], 2) type-II InGaN-GaNAs QW [2], and 3) non-polar InGaN QW [3].
