Hg1-xCdxTe as a semiconductor laser
The suitability of Hg1-xCdxTe as a laser material is the subject of a theoretical investigation. In particular, Auger recombination is studied because it is important for the quality of a semiconductor laser. It follows that Hg1-xCdxTe seems to be favourable as a laser material for wavelengths Lambda >or=1.55 mu m (x<or=0.59).
