A NEW MODEL FOR THE TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT CdS LASER

The temperature dependence of laser wavelength and threshold pump power of a CdS platelet laser operating from 2 to 240°K are presented. A model is proposed that demonstrates how the temperature dependence of band edge absorption determines the variation of laser wavelength and threshold pump power...

Description
Summary:The temperature dependence of laser wavelength and threshold pump power of a CdS platelet laser operating from 2 to 240°K are presented. A model is proposed that demonstrates how the temperature dependence of band edge absorption determines the variation of laser wavelength and threshold pump power over this temperature range.
