← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when applying reverse bias to a laser diode?
A)Minimal current, no light emission✓
B)Increased lasing threshold current
C)Spontaneous amplified coherent emission
D)Enhanced forward current conduction
💡 Explanation
Applying reverse bias causes depletion region widening, reducing available carriers; this increases resistance, initiating minimal current and inhibiting light emission because it reduces the forward bias condition. Therefore, there's no light, rather than increased current or stimulated emission states.
