  • Abstract
    Room-temperature infra-red emission (λ ˜ 3 μm) is reported for the first time from forward-biased p-n junctions in CdxHg1-xTe (x ˜ 0.3). Efficiencies are as high as 0.2% and the spectrum width is 0.3 μm. A simple RF-modulated communications link has been demonstrated using both source and detector at room temperature.
