Nanosecond semiconductor disk laser emitting at 496.5 nm

An optically pumped semiconductor disk laser based on a heterostructure containing ten CdS/ZnSe coupled quantum wells with type-II band offsets is studied. The structure was grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on a GaAs substrate. The peak power of the semiconductor disk laser achieved at room temperature under longitudinal pumping by a repetitively pulsed N{sub 2} laser was 0.75 W at a wavelength of 496.5 nm, a pulse duration of 3 ns, and a pulse repetition rate of 100 Hz. The slope efficiency of the disk laser was 2.7 %. The total divergence angle at a cavity length of 1.1 mm varied from 5 mrad near the lasing threshold to 15 mrad at the maximum pump power. (lasers)

Optically pumped semiconductor laser based on a type-II CdS/ZnSe heterostructure

An optically pumped semiconductor laser based on a type-II CdS/ZnSe nanoheterostructure containing 10 quantum wells (QWs) was studied. The structure was grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy on a GaAs substrate. The lifetime of electron-hole pairs at a low pump level was measured by luminescence decay to be ∼0 ns. The peak power of the microcavity semiconductor laser at room temperature and longitudinal pumping by a repetitively pulsed N{sub 2} laser was 7.2 W at a wavelength of 514 nm. The relatively low laser slope efficiency (0.35 %) is explained by amplified spontaneous emission propagating along the structure. The peak power and efficiency of the laser in the case of transverse pumping increase to 70 W and 3.5 %, respectively. (lasers)
