pooljuhtseade, mis sarnaneb valgust kiirgava dioodiga, kus otse elektrivooluga täispumbatud diood võib dioodi ristmikul tekitada laseritingimused
semiconductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing conditions at the diode's junction
Laserdioodid on kõige levinumad toodetud laserosised, millel on lai valik kasutusviise, sealhulgas kiudoptiline side, vöötkoodilugemisseadmed, laserkursorid, CD/DVD/Blu-ray ketaste lugemine/salvestamine, laserprintimine, laserskaneerimine ja valguskiirte valgustus.
Laser diodes are the most common type of lasers produced, with a wide range of uses that include fiber optic communications, barcode readers, laser pointers, CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc reading/recording, laser printing, laser scanning and light beam illumination.
