All this working with lasers make me want to know how they work...
I have tried to understand how laser diodes work, but most of the sites I come across are way too technical for me. Could anyone provide a simple explanation for how they work?
I know it has to do with electricity passing over two differently dopped materials (p and n I think). What exactly is dopping? And why does this create laser light?
Thanks!
