Abstract
We report the largest lasing bandwidth ever observed in GaAs, viz. 7700-8900 Å. This was achieved by photo-exciting a 0.6μ thick crystalline film of GaAs with a near-breakdown power density of 5 GW/cm2 for about 1 ps. The laser cavity is formed by two dielectric mirrors glued onto the faces of the GaAs film with transparent epoxy.1
