Which mechanism causes stimulated emission in semiconductor laser diodes?

💡 Explanation

When a threshold current causes population inversion, electron-hole recombination across a bandgap via stimulated emission creates coherent photons, therefore generating laser light, rather than other possibilities like absorption at lower current.
