A diode laser which makes use of the same type of semiconductor material on both sides of the junction is known as a homojunction diode laser. Example: Gallium
3. LASER STRUCTURE: In semiconductor laser, transitions are associated with electron states in the valence and conduction bands. [In contrast, in other LASERs where transition occurs between
These devices were called homostructure or homojunction lasers because their two layers were made from the same compound semiconductor. Homojunction diodes worked, but they did not work very
