L. Calcagnile et al., Cavity size and temperature dependence of stimulated emission in single Zn1-xCdxSe/ZnSe quantum-well lasers, SUPERLATT M, 25(1-2), 1999, pp. 357-360
We observed stimulated emission originating from light-hole transitions in
single Zn1-xCdxSe quantum-well structures, using high excitation photolumin
escence spectroscopy as a function of temperature and cavity length. We fou
nd that the lasing wavelength depends on the cavity length, and can be swit
ched by varying the sample temperature. The occurrence of lasing from light
-hole recombinations in short cavities is also accompanied by an increase i
n the threshold of stimulated emission, with respect to larger cavities, (C
