Abstract
In 1991, the group at 3M Corporate Research Laboratories and our Brown/Purdue team reported a blue-green diode laser in ZnSe-based heterostructures.1,2 The optical and electronic heart of these new devices is the (Zn,Cd)Se/ZnSe quantum well which we had shown through earlier optical pumping studies to be a prime candidate for laser devices in a II–VI semiconductor heterostructure.1 The quasi-2-D aspect of this system also manifested itself in strong excitonic effects, observed in a II-VI system to room temperature and beyond. A seminal factor for the development of the diode laser was the p-type doping of ZnSe, chiefly by Park.5
