Abstract

The mode evolution of an InGaN blue laser diode with operating current and diode temperature was investigated. The spectra of a 445-nm InGaN blue laser diode with operating currents and diode temperatures was recorded using an ultrahigh resolution spectrometer and a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. The blue laser diode can deliver a mW-level single frequency beam with about 20 MHz linewidth at nearly above the lasing threshold. And the temperature-dependent wavelength drift was estimated as 0.31 nm for single longitudinal mode operation region. The spectra showed the number of the longitudinal modes increased with raising operating current. Analysis of the mode evolution of a blue laser diode with operating current and diode temperature is important when how to choose the laser diode for specific applications.
