Abstract

The work is aimed at feasibility study of magnetically tunable light sources based on Cd1-xMnxTe crystals. Strong luminescence from the cleaved surfaces of crystals with the Mn mole fraction of x=0.2 and 0.3 has been observed experimentally under cw laser excitation at liquid helium temperatures, and the radiation spectrum evolution in magnetic fields up to 7 Tesla has been analyzed. The evolution has been found essentially different in the normal (Faraday) and transverse (Voigt) geometry revealing implications related to the non-zero incidence and emission angle. The implementation is discussed in term of self-organized magnetic nano-structures and exciton-polariton condensation at the cleaved crystal surface.
