Abstract
II-VI-semiconductor-based, green-light-emitting laser diodes with significantly improved characteristics are reported. Threshold current densities of 42 A/cm/sup 2/ are obtained. Novel contacts also lead to a 25% reduction in the threshold voltage and to an increased device lifetime by a factor of 24 as compared to previous results.
