A JOAOD6 0740-3232 10.1364/JOSAA.15.001192 15, 1192 (1998); We assume an in-plane dipole distribution, corresponding to heavy hole-electron transitions. This is supported both by theoretical band structure arguments (Refs.) and by experimental measurements (Ref.). The small wiggles in the curves of Fig. are caused by guided modes being cut off in the GaN layer.
