Abstract
The luminescence properties of a GaN/Al0.1Ga0.9N double heterostructure grown by vapor-phase deposition from organometallic compounds are studied. When luminescence is observed from the end, the radiation intensity shows a sharply defined threshold dependence on the pump density. The threshold excitation density at T=77 K was ∼40 kW/cm2 and the wavelength of the stimulated emission was λ=357 nm. The long-wavelength shift of the emission line at high pump densities may be attributed to renormalization of the band gap caused by many-particle interactions in the electron-hole plasma.
