Abstract
Active regions for mid-ultraviolet laser diodes grown on bulk AlGaN templates are investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence. The active regions were grown pseudomorphically on thick, relaxed AlGaN on bulk GaN in the semi-polar (202̄1) orientation where it has been shown that the glide of dislocations create strain relieving defects confined to the AlGaN/GaN interface, away from the active region. The photoluminescence lifetimes were found to have mono-exponential decays of around 500ps and calculated radiative and non-radiative lifetimes are compared to previously reported results for active regions on bulk m-plane GaN.
