This paper reports on a high‐quality double heterostructure (DH) which shows UV emission stimulated by optical pumping at room temperature with low threshold power in both edge and surface modes, and a high‐efficiency blue light emitting diode (LED) and UV‐LED based on p‐n homojunction and DH. The process for the fabrication of LEDs and DH and their characteristics are presented.
