Abstract

Continuous-wave (cw) indium-gallium nitride (InGaN) multiple-quantum-well (MQW) laser diodes (LDs) were successfully transferred from sapphire onto copper and diamond substrates using a two-step laser lift-off (LLO) process. Reduced threshold currents and increased differential quantum efficiencies were measured for LDs on Cu due to a 50% reduction of the thermal impedance. Light output for LDs on Cu was three times greater than comparable LDs on sapphire with a maximum output of 30 mW. Increased light output for LDs on diamond were also measure with a maximum output of 80 mW.
