Abstract:
The results are reported on the observation of the induced emission from CdxHg1−x Te samples optically pumped by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser at temperatures T<77 K. In the wave range λ∼ 3300–3600 nm, both stimulated and spontaneous emission were observed. The experimentally measured emission spectra are analyzed. The properties of the spectra from the samples are discussed and the possible applications are considered.
