Light Emitting Diode

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that converts electrical energy into light, providing efficient, compact, and controllable illumination. When forward bias is applied across its p–n junction, electrons and holes recombine in the active region and release energy as photons, with the emitted wavelength determined largely by the semiconductor band gap. In bioengineering, LEDs provide tunable light for fluorescence imaging, optogenetic stimulation, photobiomodulation, and light-responsive biosensors. Their low heat generation, rapid switching, and ability to operate at selected wavelengths support precise control of biological experiments and the development of portable diagnostic and therapeutic devices.
