The first laser diodes fabricated from wide-band-gap II-VI semiconductors are demonstrated. These devices emit coherent light at a wavelength of 490 nm from a ZnSe-based single-quantum-well structure under pulsed current injection at 77 K. This is the shortest wavelength ever generated by a semiconductor laser diode.
