Semiconductor laser, commonly known as a laser diode, is composed of, beam combination device, laser energy transmission cable, power system, control system, and mechanical structure, in the power system and control system drive and monitoring to achieve laser output. The commonly used working substances of semiconductor lasers are GaAs, CdS, InP, ZnS, and so on. There are three main excitation modes according to different working substances: electric injection, pump type, and high energy electron beam excitation.

incentives working principle
Electrically injected semiconductor laser GaAS, CdS, InP, and ZnS are used as working materials to make semiconductor diodes. When electrically injected, the working materials are excited by the current injected along with the forward bias, so as to generate stimulated emission in the nodal plane region.
Punp laser The population inversion can be realized by using p-type or N-type semiconductor single crystal as the working material and by pump excitation from other lasers.
High energy electron beam excited laser P-type semiconductor single crystals (PbS, CbS, and ZnO) or N-type semiconductor single crystals were used as working materials and excited by lasers from other lasers.
