The calculations were carried out using a two-dimensional self-consistent electrical-thermal model combined with a simplified optical model tuned to a RW EEL fabricated in the Institute of High Pressure Physics (Unipress). Our results suggest that with proper modifica- tions in the III-N-based RW EEL, excluding modifications in its inner structure, it is possible to considerably improve the thermal performance and, thus, increase the maximal output power.}, type={Article}, title={Numerical investigation of an impact of a top gold metallization on output power of a p-up III-N-based blue-violet edge-emitting laser diode}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116132/PDF-MASTER/pan_doi_blank.pdf}, keywords={GaN, semiconductor laser diode, simulation, thermal resistance, output power}, }
