Abstract:
The optical gain coefficients measured in heavily doped Al$_{0.65}$Ga$_{0.35}$N:Si structures under continuous pumping with broadband radiation (190–330 nm) at room temperature. The optical gain of 212 cm$^{-1}$ was obtained under 3.2 mW/cm$^2$ of the optical pump power density, which well agrees with the data obtained with pulsed excitation. The measured value for the radiative recombination cross-section under continuous optical excitation is 10$^{-15}$ ñm$^2$.
Keywords:heavily doped alxga1-xn structures, optical gain, radiative recombination cross-section.
