Optically Pumped Laser Action on Nitride Based Separate Confinement Heterostructures Grown along the (11¯20) Crystallographic Direction

The intention of this work is to discuss and report on our research on nonpolar laser structures grown on bulk GaN crystal substrates along the (11¯20) nonpolar direction. The main advantages of such nonpolar structures are related to the elimination of the built-in electric fields present in commonly used systems grown along the polar (0001) axis of nitride crystals. We demonstrated the optically pumped laser action on separate confinement heterostructures. Laser action is clearly shown by spontaneous emission saturation, abrupt line narrowing, and strong transversal electric polarization of output light. The lasing threshold was reached at an excitation power density of 260 kW/cm$\text{}^{2}$ for a 700μm long cavity (at room temperature)

Microwave-Induced Delocalization of Excitons in Ternary Compounds of II-VI and III-V Semiconductors

In this work we employ technique of optically detected cyclotron resonance for evaluation of the role of localization processes in CdTe/CdMnTe and CdMnTe/CdMgTe quantum well structures. From microwave-induced changes of excitonic emissions we evaluate magnitude of potential fluctuations (Stokes shift), correlate optically detected cyclotron resonance results with the results of time-resolved experiments and discuss nature of recombination processes in the limit of a strong localization
