Assuming that the light comes from electrons and holes recombining, what is the band gap in this laser material?
A semiconductor diode laser emits 1.4 micro meters of light.
Homework Answers
he band gap enegry is the energy required to jump to the conduction band ;
and this energy is converted to light energy
given ,lambda=1.4 x10^-6m
energy =hc/(lambda)
=>E= ((6.62x10^(-34)*3x10^8))/(1.4 x10^-6)
=1.418x10^-19 J
=0.885 eV (1 joule =6.24150934

A photovoltatic cell created from a semiconductor with band gap 1.4 eV is coated on its top (light receiving) surface with another semiconductor with band gap 2.5 eV. Compute the maximum potential fraction of incident radiation converted to useful power if this cell is illuminated by light with wavelengths uniformly distributed between 400 and 700 nm. Assume the top semiconductor layer does not contribute to electrical power production.
