LED | LASER Diode |
---|---|
Low forward bias is required | High forward bias is required |
Light emission process is spontaneous | Light emission process is stimulated |
Population inversion is not required | Population inversion is essential |
Resonant cavity is not required | Resonant cavity is essential. Opposite sides of pn junction are made parallel and reflecting to cause feedback |
Emitted radiation is incoherent and of low intensity | Emitted radiation is highly coherent, high intensity and monochromatic. |
