Green electron-beam pumped laser arrays based on II-VI nanostructures

Room temperature electron-beam pumped (U=15-26 keV) green lasers and laser array based on multiple quantum well II-VI structures with an extended up to 2 mu m waveguide have been studied. The maximum achieved output pulse power is as high as 31 and 630 W per facet from a single 0.24-mm-wide laser element at the cavity length of 0.4 mm and a laser array consisting of 26 elements, respectively.
