types of lasers

In laser: Types of lasers
…widely used lasers today are semiconductor diode lasers, which emit visible or infrared light when an electric current passes through them. The emission occurs at the interface (see p-n junction) between two regions doped with different materials. The p-n junction can act as a laser medium, generating stimulated emission

use in infrared spectroscopy

In spectroscopy: Infrared instrumentation
The development of solid-state diode lasers, F-centre lasers, and spin-flip Raman lasers is providing new sources for infrared spectrometers. These sources in general are not broadband but have high intensity and are useful for the construction of instruments that are designed for specific applications in narrow frequency regions.
