Assignment 1 ONS

1. There are four main types of LEDs: homojunction, heterojunction, buried etched well surface emitting, and edge emitting. 2. Homojunction LEDs use the same material type for the p and n sides and are simpler structures. Heterojunction LEDs use different material types for improved performance. 3. Buried etched well surface emitting LEDs concentrate the emitted light into a small area using an etched well and lens, allowing for high data rates needed in telecommunications. 4. Edge emitting LEDs emit light in a more directional beam than surface emitting LEDs and have lower coupling losses, though surface emitting LEDs emit more light overall.
