Abstract
The photoluminescence spectra and the laser mode structure of the optically pumped ZnMgSSe/ZnSe MQW-SCH lasers were investigated as functions of excitation intensity (Iexe = 50-1000 kW/cm2), excitation pulses amount (N = 106) and temperature (T = 300-500 K). It was shown that the active region overheating value docs not exceed 10 K at high Iexe. A significant decrease of the laser power during the laser operation took place for Iexe = (5-10)Ithr and N = 106. It was established that the degradation process is due to the inherent laser emission interaction with the heterostructure leading to an appearance of intrinsic defects and to stimulated interdiffusion at ZnMgSSe/ZnSe interfaces.
