Semiconductor streamer lasers

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)
A new method of electrically exciting generation of light behind the ionization front in streamers is theoretically and experimentally considered. Light intensity of approximately 10/sup 9/ W/cm/sup 2/ was generated in Cd/sub x/Se/sub 1-x/ and ZnSe crystals from radiation regions having characteristic dimensions of approximately 5 ..mu..m, and moving with velocities approximately 3.10/sup 8/ cm/s.
