← ScienceWhich mechanism causes stimulated emission in semiconductor laser diodes?
A)Electron-hole recombination across a bandgap✓
B)Resonant phonon scattering in the lattice
C)Quantum tunneling below barrier height
D)Surface plasmon polariton propagation
💡 Explanation
When a threshold current causes population inversion, electron-hole recombination across a bandgap via stimulated emission creates coherent photons, therefore generating laser light, rather than other possibilities like absorption at lower current.
