Abstract

Two competing recombination mechanisms of stimulated emission in the vicinity of 145 K have been directly observed in the temperature dependence of the optical emission spectra for high-quality, unintentionally doped gallium nitride. Our analysis of the spectra indicates that exciton-exciton scattering is responsible for stimulated emission below 145 K, while at higher temperatures an electron-hole plasma becomes the dominant mechanism.
