Abstract: An investigation was made of the influence of an excess sulfur partial pressure in the range 10^–3– (2×10²) Torr on the low-temperature photoluminescence spectra and also on the lasing threshold and the differential efficiency of electron-beam-excited lasers. The best laser characteristics, including degradation stability, were obtained for sulfur pressures of 1–10 Torr.
