Band-edge aligned carrier blocking layers are introduced into wurtzite or zinc blende Gallium Nitride based diode laser and LEDs in order to prevent thermionic emission and the overflow of carriers at elevated operating temperatures. These blocking layers are located in the direct vicinity of the active zone of the light emitter, and are designed with material composition such that one of the band-edges of the layers is, either partially or fully, aligned with that of adjacent barrier or waveguide layer. This invention proposes GaN based QW structure with a AlGaN(AsPSb) electron-blocking layer on the p-side of quantum well and (InGa)AlN as hole-blocking layer.
