Electron-beam-pumped lasers using heteroepitaxial zinc selenide obtained from organoelemental compounds

Investigations were made of the feasibility of using heteroepitaxial ZnSe films grown on GaAs substrates by gas-phase chemical deposition from organoelemental compounds as the active medium of electron-beampumped semiconductor lasers. Studies were made of the characteristics of active elements in transverse and longitudinal excitation geometries and methods of improving them were examined.
