摘要
We report on structural and optical properties of green (lambda similar to 520 nm) ZnCdSe/ZnMgSSe optically pumped laser heterostructures with a Zn(Mg)SSe/ZnSe graded-index superlattice (SL) waveguide, grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The pseudomorphic 400 nm thick waveguide comprising a set of strained ZnMgSSe/ZnSe and ZnSSe/ZnSe SLs of different periods and barrier-to-well thickness ratios at each side of a ZnCdSe quantum well (QW) active region provides efficient transport of nonequilibrium carriers to the QW. This results in reduction in laser threshold down to the extremely low value of 1.5 kW/cm(2) at 300 K and increasing the external quantum efficiency above 44%. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.
