F.1 The Semiconductor Laser Diode
The source of each laser pulse in the sensor is a semiconductor laser diode. The laser diode is a series of stacked p-n junc-
tions similar, at least in concept, to that shown in
Figure F-1 below
. When a current is applied across the junction, photons
are produced and routed out one end to form a tightly focused laser beam.
Note: The physics of laser diodes can be found elsewhere on the Internet. Start by searching for
p-n junction, laser
diode, and principles of semiconductor laser diodes.
