RT high cagrEveryone in the AI trade can explain a GPU, but few can explain semiconductor lasers. So I will.Starting with the material. Silicon has an indirect bandgap: the conduction band minimum and valence band maximum sit at different crystal momenta, so radiative recombination requires a phonon and the efficiency
