This lecture covers the principles behind light emission from semiconductor materials, focusing on light emitting diodes (LEDs). Topics include the relationship between injected carriers and emitted photons, external efficiency, responsivity, and quantum efficiencies. The spectral distribution of emitted light is discussed, along with the importance of stimulated emission for achieving well-defined wavefunctions in LEDs.
