Abstract
In this paper we consider various mechanisms, both excitonie and free-carrier, that may give rise to lasing, and we compare the archetypal II—VI semiconductor, ZnSe, with the archetypal III—V semiconductor, GaAs. We calculate the gain spectrum for each lasing mechanism and thereby determine which process will dominate under given conditions in each material.
