Which outcome occurs when a gallium arsenide laser is stressed?

💡 Explanation

Increased stress enhances defects, causing higher electron-hole recombination via Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination mechanism because these defects act as traps inside the band gap. Therefore, non-radiative recombination increases, diminishing laser efficiency rather than maintaining Fermi levels.
