Abstract
Strong room temperature Er-related photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) at 1539 nm was observed from Er and O implanted n-type GaN. Good device performance requires that the Er-related excitation and emission processes be efficient. Single exponential PL and EL time decays with 1/e lifetimes of 2.33 ms and 1.74 ms indicates highly efficient radiative process. The Er excitation process in GaN was studied by comparing the efficiency of direct Er-absorption, electron-hole pair recombination, and hot electron (impact) excitation. The strongest Er luminescence and the lowest pump power was found using impact excitation.
