Introductory Chapter
Spontaneous emission of radiation in the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum from a forward-biased pn junction was discussed in Section 6.3.2. The normally empty con-duction band of the semiconductor is populated by electrons injected into it by the forward current through the junction, and light is generated when these electrons recombine with holes in the valence band to emit a photon. This is the mechanism by which light is emitted from an LED, but stimulated emission is not encouraged, as it is in the injection laser, by the addition of an optical cavity and mirror facets to provide feedback of photons.
