In-doped ZnO single crystals as a novel laser material

As-grown ZnO:In crystalline plates demonstrate strong near-band-edge emission related to exciton recombination (380 nm - free excitons; 395 and 406 nm - excitons localized in the impurity centers). Fabry-Perot mode structure is observed for last two bands. Dramatically increasing narrow line (396 nm, Δλ ~ 3.3 nm) is connected with EHP recombination.
