  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Solid State Physics

Part of the book series: Advances in Solid State Physics ((ASSP,volume 42))

Abstract

ZnCdSe quantum structures are investigasted for the effect of exciton localisation on the potential for opto-electronic applications. The investigation on ZnCdSe quantum dots as the active material in a laser diode and their temperature dependece show a transition from 0D-like to 2D-like characteristics limiting their capabiblity for devices. Furthermore, optimisation of electrical contacts due to a post-growth increase of the p-type doping level and efficient index guiding allowing a substantial decrease of losses improving the lifetime of laser diodes more than 20 times.
