SILVER-DOPED CADMIUM TIN PHOSPHIDE LASER

摘要

There is disclosed a semiconductor laser employing silver-doped cadmium tin phosphide, from which unexpectedly low-threshold and efficient laser action has been obtained. Both optically pumped and current injection embodiments are disclosed. Laser oscillation occurs in a narrow band that is temperature dependent but ranges from about 1.012 micrometers to about 1.016 micrometers.
