What is a laser?. A laser is a device that emits light through the process of stimulated emission. LASER is actually an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. . the active medium is glass denatured by Neodymium ions(Nd +3) (active ions) with doping rate up to (6%). The color of the crystal is purple (8). dimensions of the crystal are from a few microns to (2 cm) length and the diameter (6-10 m). The Pumping using the flash lamp). with an efficiency not exceeding (1.5%) or using a semiconductor laser with an efficiency of up to (70%). It works with a system of quadrupole levels and it dose need good cooling. Tunnel diode is one of the most significant solid-state electronic devices which is . heavily doped with impurities. , it exhibits . negative resistance. . which means the electric current across the tunnel diode decreases when the voltage increases. p-n junction diode. . allows electric current . only. in . forward biased condition. . When forward biased voltage is applied to the p-n junction diode, it allows large amount of electric current. Hence, . is a special type of device designed to operate in the . zener. breakdown region (. reverse breakdown region. ), The breakdown voltage of a . zener. diode is carefully set by controlling the doping level during manufacture. . Zero Biased Junction Diode. When . a diode is connected in a . Zero Bias. condition, no external potential energy is applied to the PN junction. However, if the diodes terminals are shorted together, a few holes (majority carriers) in the P-type material with enough energy to overcome the potential barrier will move across the junction against this barrier potential.
