organic vapour phase epitaxy on c-plane sapphire substrates, including an Al0. 83In0. 17N
cladding layer lattice-matched to GaN. Lasing action is demonstrated for gain-guided
devices at room temperature under pulsed current injection conditions. Direct comparison
with structures including only a standard Al0. 07Ga0. 93N bottom cladding shows an
improved optical confinement. This is exemplified by a decreased threshold current density.
