Stimulated emission at 374.9 nm has been observed in an optically pumped Cd,,zzZnO,,sS-ZnSstrained-layer superlattice at room temperature. Using a pump-and-probe technique withnanosecond excitation pulses, optical gain has also been observed at the tail part of the n= 1heavy-hole exciton absorption spectrum in the presence of the clear absorption peak of theexciton. Our experimental results suggest that the stimulated emission originates from excitonicgai
