    LD Laser Diode Technology and Its Applications

    Laser diodes (LD) are semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy into high-power optical energy. This article discusses the characteristics common to laser. A laser diode (LD, also injection laser diode or ILD or semiconductor laser or diode laser) is a semiconductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing conditions at the diode's junction. This characteristic makes laser beams extremely bright and concentrated.
