(color online) Optical field distribution (a) and the barrier of the electron blocking layer (b) of InGaN-based violet LDs with different u-In0.02Ga0.98N/GaN UWGs. The inset in panel (a) shows the optical confinement factor (OCF) and the total optical loss (TOL), which are marked as black and red color, respectively. The inset in panel (b) indicates the conduction band diagram of LD1 and the definition of barriers.
