Abstract
The blue nitride laser presents a fascinating case for the study of the microscopies of optical gain. For InGaN quantum wells, these are highlighted by the competition between localized and extended electronic states in this unusual, heterogeneous active laser medium. The InGaN QW gain medium present specific opportunities and challenges for the vertical cavity emitters whose contemporary progress is illustrated in this article.
