Abstract

Excitonic quality CuInSe₂ crystals were studied using low-temperature (10 K) photoluminescence (PL) excited by continuous wave and nanosecond pulsed lasers at power densities from 0.01 kW/cm² to 76 kW/cm² . Increasing the excitation power density level to 26 kW/cm² resulted in the appearance of a stimulated emission SE-band in the PL spectra at 1.035 eV. Further increase in the excitation level to 39 kW/cm² generated on the top of the SE band a structure of equidistant sharp lines attributed to laser emission. at 1.035 eV. Further increase in the excitation level to 39 kW/cm² generated a structure of equidistant sharp lines attributed to laser emission on the top of the SE band. The lasing regime suggests the presence of volumes with parallel faces (microcracks or grain boundaries), which act as laser mirrors within the CuInSe₂ crystals.
