title = "Semipolar III-nitride laser diodes with zinc oxide cladding",
abstract = "Incorporating transparent conducting oxide (TCO) top cladding layers into III-nitride laser diodes (LDs) improves device design by reducing the growth time and temperature of the p-type layers. We investigate using ZnO instead of ITO as the top cladding TCO of a semipolar (2021) III-nitride LD. Numerical modeling indicates that replacing ITO with ZnO reduces the internal loss in a TCO clad LD due to the lower optical absorption in ZnO. Lasing was achieved at 453 nm with a threshold current density of 8.6 kA/cm2 and a threshold voltage of 10.3 V in a semipolar (2021) III-nitride LD with ZnO top cladding.",
