Abstract

The dynamics and stimulated emission processes of the exciton luminescence are studied in quantum wells (QWs) of the Zn 1-xCd xSe/ZnSe system. A multiquantum well (MQW) structure shows an exciton lifetime of 150-280 ps and a stimulated emission effect due to exciton-exciton scattering as well as due to electron-hole plasma recombination. A combined-QW structure in which a single quantum well (SQW) is located adjacent to MQWs shows a tunneling process of the excitons from the MQWs through the barriers to the SQW. The stimulated emission takes place in the SQW due to phase space filling effects of the excitons. These observed stimulated emission processes are highly related to the blue-laser-diode operation at both low and room temperatures.
