Abstract

We report on studies of extended defects in electron-beam-pumped Zn1-xCdxSe/ZnSe blue and blue-green laser structures. To establish a direct correlation between the local luminescence properties and the presence of structural defects, the same thin foil samples were sequentially examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy. The majority of the non-radiative defects were found to have one or more threading dislocations in their vicinity. Stacking faults, as a rule, did not give rise per se to non-radiative recombination centers. In several instances we observed nonradiative defects by CL with no extended defect counterparts in TEM.

Photoluminescence

Photoluminescence (abbreviated as PL) is light emission from any form of matter after the absorption of photons (electromagnetic radiation). It is one of many forms of luminescence (light emission) and is initiated by photoexcitation (i.e. photons that excite electrons to a higher energy level in an atom), hence the prefix photo-. Following excitation, various relaxation processes typically occur in which other photons are re-radiated.

Laser diode

A laser diode (LD, also injection laser diode or ILD, or diode laser) is a semiconductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing conditions at the diode's junction. Driven by voltage, the doped p–n-transition allows for recombination of an electron with a hole. Due to the drop of the electron from a higher energy level to a lower one, radiation, in the form of an emitted photon is generated. This is spontaneous emission.

Laser pointer

A laser pointer or laser pen is a small handheld device with a power source (usually a battery) and a laser diode emitting a very narrow coherent low-powered laser beam of visible light, intended to be used to highlight something of interest by illuminating it with a small bright spot of colored light. The small width of the beam and low power of typical laser pointers make the beam itself invisible in a clean atmosphere, only showing a point of light when striking an opaque surface.
