Preferred Label : lasers, semiconductor;
MeSH definition : Lasers with a semiconductor diode as the active medium. Diode lasers transform electric
energy to light using the same principle as a light-emitting diode (LED), but with
internal reflection capability, thus forming a resonator where a stimulated light
can reflect back and forth, allowing only a certain wavelength to be emitted. The
emission of a given device is determined by the active compound used (e.g., gallium
arsenide crystals doped with aluminum or indium). Typical wavelengths are 810, 1,060
and 1,300 nm. (From UMDNS, 2005);
