Abstract:
We have studied the output characteristics of pulsed electron-beam-pumped green lasers based on ZnSe-containing quantum-sized structures with thin (20 nm thick) external ZnMgSSe confinement layers. Room-temperature lasing has been observed for electron beam energies above 3.7 keV. At a beam energy of 8–9 keV, the minimum threshold beam current density was 0.4–0.5 A/cm2. The maximum laser output pulse energy was 2 W at a pumping electron beam energy of ~5 kW.
