Title: Nonlinear optical characterization of GaN layers grown by MOCVD on sapphire[Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20104619

Optical second and third harmonic generation measurements were carried out on GaN layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on sapphire substrates. The measured d{sub 33} is 33 times the d{sub 11} of quartz. The angular dependence of second-harmonic intensity as well as the measured ratios d{sub 33}/d{sub 15} = {minus}2.02 and d{sub 33}/d{sub 31} = {minus}2.03 confirm the wurzite structure of the studied GaN layers with the optical c-axis oriented perpendicular to the sample surface. Fine oscillations were observed in the measured second and third harmonic angular dependencies. A simple model based on the interference of the fundamental beam in the sample was used to explain these oscillations.
