Abstract

We have obtained continuous-wave laser operation at room temperature from a (Zn,Mg)(S,Se)-based Il-VI separate-confinement heterostructure where injection of holes into the p-type quaternary was achieved through the employment of a Zn(Se,Te) graded-bandgap contact. The laser devices exhibit threshold current densities of below 300 A/cm2 and voltages below 6 V. Issues related to the control of the growth of the quaternary (Zn,Mg)(S,Se) compound, and a proposal to further reducing the laser operating voltage will also be described.
