Optically pumped laser action is demonstrated in an InGaN/GaN double heterostructure with a 1000Å thick InGaN active region. Hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) is used to grow a 10 µm thick GaN buffer layer on (0001) sapphire, and the GaN/InGaN GaN double heterostructure is subsequently grown by MOVPE 1 mm long cavities are produced by cleaving the structure along the (10-10) plane of sapphire. Optical pumping at room temperature yields an incident threshold power density of 1.3MW/cm2. Above threshold the differential quantum efficiency increases by a factor of 34, the emission linewidth decreases to 13.5 meV and the output becomes highly TE polarized.
