Which outcome occurs when a semiconductor laser's optical gain spectrum aligns precisely with a forbidden electronic band?

A)Lasing ceases above threshold current
B)Wavelength shifts lower proportionally
C)Spontaneous emission rate decreases
D)Far-field beam broadens immediately

💡 Explanation

Lasing stops because band alignment hinders electron-hole recombination which prevents stimulated emission due to the *Pauli Exclusion Principle*. Therefore, gain drops below loss, rather than shifting wavelength; other wavelengths are suppressed regardless.
