Optically pumped lasers emitting near 600 nm at room temperature have been fabricated for the first time in Cd sub (0.25) Zn sub (0.75) Te/Zn Te superlattices grown on GaAs substrates. The threshold pump intensity using pulsed 0.53microns radiation increased from ~7kW/cm at 10K to ~ 60kW/cm sup 2 room temperature with a threshold temperature dependence to ~111K.
