Since the technological breakthrough prompted by the inception of light emitting diodes based on III-nitrides, these material systems have emerged as strategic semiconductors not only for the lighting of the future, but also for the new generation of high-power electronic and spintronic devices. While III-nitride optoelectronics in the visible and ultraviolet spectral range is widely established, all-nitride efficient devices in the near-infrared (NIR) are still wanted. Here, through a comprehensive protocol of design, modeling, epitaxial growth and in-depth characterization, we develop AlxGa1-xN:Mn/GaN NIR distributed Bragg reflectors and we show their efficiency in combination with GaN:(Mn, Mg) layers containing Mn-Mg-k complexes optically active in the near-infrared range of wavelengths.
