摘要: Room‐temperature electroluminescence at peak wavelengths of 5–7 μm has been observed in metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy‐grown mercury cadmium telluride, fully impurity doped, heterostructure, mesa diodes. The internal quantum efficiency low injection for 5 emission is around 4×10−4. Maximum output power 295 K 6 nW from an 80 diameter device (120 μW cm−2) 50% duty cycle. dependence intensity on current, the spectra, and infrared microscope image are presented.
