Stimulated emission from a Hg1−xCdxTe epilayer grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Abstract
We report on the observation of stimulated emission from a (100) oriented Hg1−xCdxTe epilayer grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The cleaved epilayers were cooled and optically pumped by a Nd:YAG laser and were found to lase continuously up to 40 K.
