Abstract

The semiconductor target of a GEISHA or EBIC device is integrated with an jection laser diode to form a unitary structure. The electrons created in the GEISHA by impact ionization are swept directly into the injection laser to cause lasing action. This eliminates the need for transmission line connecting the GEISHA to the injection laser diode.
