Abstract

Properties of blue laser diodes based on ZnSe-related II-VI semiconductor heterostructures are reported. At 77 K, continuous-wave (cw) operation has been achieved for lasers emitting at wavelengths as short as 470.4 nm (2.635 eV), while pulsed laser emission has been observed up to ∼200 K, for samples with uncoated facets. Measured turn-on voltages for stimulated emission at 77 K were as low as 12 V for some of the laser diodes due to improved ohmic contacts. For some particular devices, differential quantum efficiencies as high as 36% per (uncoated) facet have been obtained at 77 K.
