Abstract
The luminescence of thin (2 mu m) CdS films formed by laser ablation w as investigated in the range 480-520 nm at 300 K. It turned out that t he luminescence properties depend crucially on the substrate. As a mai n result, CdS films on glass exhibited an emission peak at the gap (ar ound 505 nm) of thin CdS films in contrast to films on quartz. This ob servation is explained by the disturbed stoichiometry of thin CdS film s on quartz. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that both Fabry-Perot i nterferences and position of the fundamental absorption edge of the th in CdS films do not depend on the substrate.
