✦ Synopsis


Continuous-wave laser operation at room temperature was obtained from a (Zn,Mg)(S,Se)-based II-VI separate-confinement heterostructure where injection of holes into the p-type quaternary was achieved through the employment of a Zn(Se,T) gradedbandgap contact. The laser devices exhibit threshold current densities of below 300 A cm-2 and voltages below 6 V. Issues related to the control of the growth of the quaternary (Zn,Mg)(S,Se) compound are discussed and comments are made on the origins of device degradation.
