  • The first pn junction laser diode demonstration was reported in Hall, R.N.; Fenner, G.E.; Kingsley, J.D.; Soltys, T.J.; Carlson, R.O. ‘Coherent light emission from GaAs junctions’ Phys. Rev. Lett. 1962, 9, 366368; however, the first room temperature demonstration of a CW laser source was made by Alferov, Z.I.; Andreev, V.M.; Garbuzov, D.Z.; Zhilyaev, Y.V.; Morozov, E.P.; Portnoi, E.L.; Trofim, V.G.
