Abstract

Compact laser sources of shorter wavelengths offer the potential for high-density optical recording, but they also require low noise and a high-power light beam (over 10 mW). It was recently reported that a continuous wave green laser diode (LD) of II-VI groups oscillated at the Nitrogen temperature and also emitted pulsed wave at room temperature.¹ Nonetheless, further efforts are required for practical application of II-VI lasers.
