1. Introduction ;1. Introduction ;The key drawbacks of the LED :;LASER DIODE e-h recombination in a high quality optical cavity; LD is a coherent light source, which can overcome the limits of LED .;The stimulated emission process provides narrow spectral linewidth of the photon output, provides coherent photons, and offers high speed performance. Thus, the key difference between the LED and the laser diode arises from difference between spontaneous and simulated emission.;2. Spontaneous and Stimulated Emission;●;Spontaneous emission:;When semiconductor stimulated by photons with the sti
