Notes:
Room temperature continuous wave operation of ZnSe-based blue/green laser diodes grown homoepitaxially on conductive ZnSe substrates with threshold current densities as low as 176 A/cm2 has been demonstrated. This is the lowest reported threshold among all short wavelength lasers in the blue/green region. Lifetimes at room temperature of up to 2.1 h have been obtained for lasers with pre-existing defect densities lower than 3×104 cm−2. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
