Understanding Laser Diodes: Operation & I-V Curves

AI Thread Summary
Laser diodes operate by injecting current into a semiconductor material, which generates light through stimulated emission. The I-V curve of a laser diode illustrates the relationship between current and voltage, showing key characteristics such as threshold current and operating regions. Resources like "Laser Electronics" by Verdeyen and "Laser Physics" by Milonni provide detailed explanations of these concepts. Users are encouraged to explore the Wikipedia page on laser diodes for foundational knowledge. Understanding these principles is essential for applications in various fields, including telecommunications and medical devices.

can any tell me about laser diode, how it operate and I-v curve of laser diode?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
You can see : Laser electronics by verdeyen or laser physics by milonni
diode lasers or semiconductor lasers sections explains your questions.

What do you know already? When you read the wikipedia.org page on laser diodes, what did you learn?

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
