摘要: Vertical laser emission at 4.8 μm from PbTe quantum wells in high-finesse Pb0.95Eu0.05Te/EuTe microcavity structures temperatures between 35 and 85 K is reported. The vertical-cavity structure was grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on BaF2(111) substrates, consisted of a 2λ cavity with four 20 nm the antinodes. Laser excited optical pumping pulsed Nd:YVO4 laser. comparison mode positions envelope function calculations quantum-well energy levels indicates that, this temperature range, lasing due to transitions ground level oblique valleys conduction valence bands.
