Abstract
The fracture patterns of active elements of pulsed green lasers with transverse electron-beam pumping, based on ZnSe-containing quantum-size structures, have been investigated. The fracture in the form of thin (∼1 μm) and long (to 100-150 μm) filaments can be explained by the self-focusing of the intrinsic laser radiation in the semiconductor structure.
