An optical device. The optical device comprises a GaN substrate having a non-polar surface region, an n-type GaN cladding layer, an n-type SCH layer comprised of InGaN, a multiple quantum-well active region comprised of five InGaN quantum well layers separated by four InGaN barrier layers, a p-type guide layer comprised of GaN, an electron blocking layer comprised of AlGaN, a p-type GaN cladding layer, and a p-type GaN contact layer. |
