A solid-state laser is a laser that uses a gain medium that is a solid, usually a crystal or glass. Semiconductor-based lasers such as laser diodes are generally excluded; treated as a separate class of laser on their own.

The active region of the laser diode is in the intrinsic (I) region, and the carriers (electrons and holes) are pumped into that region from the N and P regions respectively.

High-power laser diodes are used in industrial applications such as heat treating, cladding, seam welding, and for pumping other lasers, such as diode-pumped solid-state lasers. Dumke in the early 1960s, light emission from a (GaAs) semiconductor diode (a laser diode) was demonstrat.

These semiconductors are incredibly small, made of very thin slices of semiconducting material, and are very carefully manufactured so as to create a perfect p-n junction. SEM (scanning electron microscope) image of a commercial laser diode with its case and window cut away. The anode connection on the right has been accidentally broken by the case cut process. A laser diode (LD, also injection laser diode or ILD or semiconductor laser or diode laser) is a. In such a heterostructure of a bipolar interband laser, electrons and holes can recombine, releasing the energy.

A laser pointer or laser pen is a (typically battery-powered) handheld device that uses a laser diode to emit a narrow low-power visible laser beam (i. coherent light) to highlight something of interest with a small bright colored spot. A diode passes electricity easily in one direction; light emitting diodes and laser diodes produce light when electricity passes through them. Today, laser diodes are widely used in fiber-optic communication systems, barcode readers, laser printers, CD/DVD drives, and optical scanners, where precise, high-intensity light is crucial.
