At room temperature (296K), continuous-wave (CW) operation of a blue l
aser diode has been achieved. The emission wavelength is 489.9nm, and
the threshold current and voltage is 93mA (1.5kA/cm2) and 6.3V, respec
tively. The laser consists of a ZnCdSe/ZnSSe/ZnMgSSe single-quantum-we
ll (SQW) separate-confinement heterostructure (SCH).
