Abstract
We report the successful application of alternatively strained short-period superlattices for the waveguide region of optically pumped and injection room-temperature ZnSe-based lasers operating within the 470–523 nm spectral range. The design of optically pumped ZnMgSSe/ZnSSe/ZnCdSe lasers provides extremely low threshold power densities due to the enhanced electronic and optical confinement. Room-temperature BeMgZnSe/ZnCdSe injection lasers with threshold current density of about 750 A/cm2 and characteristic temperature as high as 366 K are demonstrated. The peculiarities of carrier transport across the short-period superlattices are explained by a thermally activated mechanism.
