Abstract: InGaN 405 nm multiple quantum well laser diodes grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with a continuous-wave (CW) lifetime of up to 42 h are reported. The CW threshold current density of the ridge waveguide laser diodes is 3.6 kA/cm2 and the slope efficiency for uncoated facets is 0.42 W/A per facet with a maximum CW output power of 45 mW per facet. Statistical variation of CW lifetime with dissipated power is presented for MBE-grown laser diodes from five different wafers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
