Principe de fonctionnement d'une diode laser. Une diode laser se compose d'un tube semi-conducteur, d'une bobine d'excitation, d'un miroir total et d'un miroir partiel. À l'aide d'un courant électrique circulant dans la bobine, on élève le niveau énergétique des couches d'électrons des atomes des molécules du semi-conducteur. Lorsque le niveau énergétique retombe, cette chute se traduit par l'émission de photons. Lorsque ces photons rencontrent d'autres atomes, ils provoquent l'élévation du niveau énergétique, et ainsi de suite. Au bout d'un certain temps, on obtient un ensemble de rayons parallèles les uns aux autres dont une partie parvient à s'échapper par le miroir semi-réfléchissant. On obtient en sortie un faisceau lumineux très dense (dangereux pour les yeux, même si il est invisible) appelé laser. 4, record 2, French, - diode%20laser
