pubmed-article:17091969 | pubmed:abstractText | High-quality ultra-long alloyed CdS(x)Se(1)(-)(x) (0 < or = x < or = 1) whiskers were obtained by a simple thermal evaporation route. The near band-edge emission in these whiskers can be effectively guided at the sub-millimeter scale under continuous-wave laser excitation. As good optical waveguide cavities, the whiskers exhibit stimulated emissions under pulsed light excitation at room temperature for all compositions 0 < or = x < or = 1. The spectral positions of the sharp emission lines of the whiskers were tuned by their compositions, covering the spectral range from green to red. | lld:pubmed |
