Technique for the growth and fabrication of semipolar (Ga,Al,In,B)N thin films, heterostructures, and devices

A light emitting device configured as a laser device, comprising:

• a semipolar III-nitride film including a light emitting device structure, wherein:
• the light emitting device structure includes a semipolar III-nitride active layer,
• material properties of the semipolar III-nitride active layer are such that the device emits light in response to a drive current density of 278 Amps per centimeter square,
• the material properties are effective to obtain the device that does not exhibit heating effects or saturation as the drive current density is increased from 33 Amps per centimeter square to 222 Amps per centimeter square, and
• the drive current density is direct current density;
• and
• an edge configured on the light emitting device structure for emission of light.
