TOPIC: LED AND LASER

ABSTARACT

This abstract explores the fundamental differences between Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and
lasers, two pivotal technologies in the field of photonics. While both serve as light sources, their
underlying mechanisms, applications, and characteristics vary significantly.

LEDs are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them.
They produce a broad spectrum of light and are valued for their energy efficiency, long lifespan,
and versatility. LEDs are used in a wide range of applications, from general lighting and displays
to signal indicators and medical devices.

Lasers, on the other hand, are highly coherent light sources that emit focused beams with
narrow spectral bandwidths. They are known for their precision, intensity, and monochromatic
properties, making them ideal for applications like optical communications, laser cutting,
medical surgeries, and scientific research.

This abstract also examines the benefits and limitations of each technology. LEDs offer lower
power consumption and broader application versatility, whereas lasers provide precise control
and high-intensity outputs. The document concludes with a discussion on emerging trends and
future advancements in both LEDs and lasers, highlighting their roles in various industries and
potential breakthroughs in technology.
