Abstract
An In0.06Ga0.94N multiple-quantum-well (MQW) laser diode (LD) structure was shown to have atomically flat interfaces and very small compositional inhomogeneity. However, excitons were confirmed to be localized at the exponential-tail type potential minima in the density of states. Spontaneous emission was assigned as being due to the recombination of localized excitons while the stimulated emission seemed to come from the continuum states energetically higher than the mobility edge.
