Radiative recombination is a process in semiconductors where an electron recombines with a hole, resulting in the emission of a photon. This phenomenon is fundamental in devices like LEDs and lasers, where light emission is a key function.

devices like LEDs

Lasers emit light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation, producing a coherent beam with a narrow spectrum of wavelengths. They have diverse applications ranging from medical procedures and telecommunications to manufacturing and scientific research.

lasers

Light emission is the process by which energy is released in the form of photons, typically occurring when electrons transition between energy levels in atoms or molecules. This phenomenon is foundational to technologies like LEDs and lasers, and is also essential in natural processes such as bioluminescence and stellar radiation.
