  • Abstract
    Single-heterostructure diode lasers formed by compositional interdiffusion in PbS1-xSexand Pb1-xSnxSe and by liquid-phase-epitaxy (LPE) in Pb1-xSnxSe show Performance characteristics significantly better than those observed in conventional homostructure lasers. Higher operating temperatures were obtained for all compositions, with CW operation above 77 K being achieved for compositions corresponding to wavelengths from 4.1 to 12.7 μm. Single-ended, CW powers as high as 70 mW, corresponding to \\eta_{ext} = 44 percent were observed in PbS1-xSexdevices.
