Epitaxial layers of Cd1−xMnxTe have been grown on CdTe (100) substrates by evaporating a target with a 1.06 µm pulsed laser. The high - quality materials were characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and energy dispersive analysis of x-ray (EDAX). We find that the incorporation of the Mn in the epitaxial layer is about two - thirds of the concentration in the target. A comparison is made to the epitaxial layers grown on CdTe (111) and GaAs (100) substrates.
