Abstract

P- and n-type doping of ZnSe is the key technology to fabricate blue/green laser diodes. ZnCdSe/ZnSe quantum-well stripe-geometry laser diodes have been grown by molecular-beam epitaxy with nitrogen radical doping and chlorine doping techniques. Lasing was obtained in the pulsed operation at room temperature by applying high-reflectivity facet coating and in the continuous wave operation at 77 K. The characteristic temperature was obtained to be 137 K below room temperature. The cavity parameters were investigated at 77 K for a single-quantum-well separate-confinement-heterostructure. An internal loss of 1.2 cm-1, an internal quantum efficiency of 61%, a transparency current density of 10 kA/(cm2μm) and a gain factor of 0.095 cmμm/A were obtained. The optical gain will be improved by lowering the dislocation density in the laser structure.
