In the last module, we learned about the basics of semiconductor physics. In this module, we will apply this knowledge to understand how semiconductors emit light, and the basis for optoelectronic devices such as lasers and light emitting diodes.

In the last module, we learned about how semiconductors can emit light. In this module, we will apply this knowledge to learn about the basics of light emitting diodes. These devices are everywhere you turn and you now have the tools to develop a complete understanding of their operation.

In the last module, we learned about light emitting diodes or LEDs. Now, we will use our knowledge of semiconductors and in particular, radiative recombination, to tackle an even more powerful device, the semiconductor laser. This technology is probably the most successful laser technology of our time, with every compact disc player incorporating a 6-cent semiconductor laser. I hope you enjoy this unit as much as I do.

In the last module, we learned about the basics of semiconductor lasers. Now, we will extend this knowledge to understand the design principles behind this very successful technology. After the module, you will wonder, as I do, how it is possible to produce a semiconductor laser for 6 cents!

In the last module, we learned about basic design principles for semiconductor lasers. In this module, we will take this one step further and learn about advanced concepts that have enabled the current generation of semiconductor lasers. Stay tuned for the magic!
