An emission layer (5) for a light source device is formed to have a
multi-layer structure, doped with an acceptor and a donor impurity. The
multi-layer structure may include a quantum well (QW) structure or a multi
quantum well (MQW) structure (50). With such a structure, a peak
wavelength of the light source can be controlled, because the distances
between atoms of the acceptor and the donor impurities are widened.
Several arrangements can be made by, e.g., altering the thickness of each
composite layer of the multi-layer structure, altering their composition
ratio, forming undoped layer 5 between the impurity doped layers, and so
forth. Further, luminous intensity of ultra violet color can be improved,
because doping the donor impurity and the acceptor impurity realizes a
donor-acceptor emission mechanism and abundant carriers. Several
arrangements can be made by, e.g., optimizing the materials of the
composite layers, optimizing their composition ratios, optimizing their
lattice constants, and so forth to further enhance the luminous intensity
of the light source.
