1.The
total efficiency of an injection LASER with a GaAs active region is
18%. The voltage applied to the device is 2.5V and the band gap
energy for GaAs is 1.43eV. Calculate the external power efficiency
for the device?
Solution;
External
power efficiency (ηep) = ηT ( Eg/
V) * 100 % --------------------(1)
ηT
= Total efficiency = 0.18
Voltage
= 2.5 V
band-gap
energy (Eg) = 1.43 eV
ηep
= 0.18 ( 1.43/ 2.5 ) * 100
=
10%
This
result indicates the possibility of achieving high overall power
efficiencies from semiconductor
lasers
which are much larger than for other laser types.
