It's the current you have to inject into the device so that the gain inside it is equal to the losses due to absorption and scattering of the light generated. When you have reached this amount of gain, then lasing can start to occur.

What is semiconductor laser?

A semiconductor laser is a type of laser which utilizes a semiconductor as its Photon source, rather than a gas (Argon, CO2, Etc...) laser which uses inert gas as an active medium. Many physicists and engineers consider a semiconductor laser a type of "Solid-State" or "Two-State" LASER.

No. A diode laser is a semiconductor and Nd:YAG is a crystal.


What is the principle of semiconductor laser?

Semiconductor lasers are diodes which are electrically pumped. Recombination of electrons and holes created by the applied current introduces optical gain. Reflection from the ends of the crystal form an optical resonator, although the resonator can be external to the semiconductor in some designs.


What is the difference between solid state laser and semiconductor laser?

LASER is Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. As far as I have understood, Solid State laser is a macroscopic form of diode laser. Thus a small semiconductor diode is similar to a solid state laser except for the mechanism of lasing and size.
