Which outcome occurs when applying reverse bias to a laser diode?

💡 Explanation

Applying reverse bias causes depletion region widening, reducing available carriers; this increases resistance, initiating minimal current and inhibiting light emission because it reduces the forward bias condition. Therefore, there's no light, rather than increased current or stimulated emission states.
