Light from silicon [LED].

Light from silicon [LED].

This paper discusses the current efforts to develop an electrically powered silicon laser for the fabrication of light emitting diodes (LED). Researchers have been pushing two strategies in their quest to get light out of silicon. One scheme is based on a curious effect called quantum confinement, w...
