Spatial distribution of photoluminescence (PL) spectra has been assessed in violet light emitting InGaN single-quantum-well (SQW) structures by employing a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) at room temperature. Clear correlation has been found between PL intensity and PL peak wavelength under illumination collection (I-C) mode, where strong PL was observed in the area emitting at lower energy bands. However, dark spots having diamter of about a few hundreds nm appeared also in lower energy region. Moreover, multi-mode SNOM-PL with a spatial resolution of 200 nm revealed that the difference of PL-intensity image between I-C mode and illumination (I) mode is not so large comparing with a blue light emitting InGaN-SQW. These findings suggest that threading dislocations act as nonradiative recombination centers in the violet sample unlike blue ones, and that the diffusion length to such centers is larger than that to localized centers leading to radiative recombination. Furthermore, nonradiative recombination centers originating from point defects have been spatially identified in the violet sample grown on epitaxially laterally overgrown (ELO) GaN template.
