Abstract
We report on a comparative study of efficiency droop in polar and non-polar InGaN quantum well structures at T = 10K. To ensure that the experiments were carried out with identical carrier densities for any particular excitation power density, we used laser pulses of duration ~100fs at a repetition rate of 400 kHz. For both types of structure efficiency droop was observed to occur for carrier densities of above 7×1011 cm-2pulse-1 per quantum well; also both structures exhibited similar spectral broadening in the droop regime. These results show that efficiency droop is intrinsic in InGaN quantum wells, whether polar or non-polar, and is a function, specifically, of carrier density.
