By observing the morphology evolution of green InGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) and studying the catholuminescence (CL) property, we investigate indium-segregation-related defects that are formed at green InGaN/GaN QW interfaces. Meanwhile, we also propose the approach and suggest the mechanism to remove them for green InGaN/GaN QW grown on both GaN templates and free-standing GaN substrates. By engineering the interface of green InGaN/GaN QWs, we have achieved green laser diode (LD) structure with low threshold current density of 1.85 kA cm -2 . The output power of the green LD is 58 mW at a current density of 6 kA cm -2 under continuous-wave operation at room temperature.
