Light Emitting Diode (LED)
A light-emitting Diode (LED) is a Semiconductor device that emits Light when stimulated by an electrical current; they are used in transmitters for Multimode Fiber links. The basic types of LEDs used for Fiber Optics are the surface-emitting LED (SLED), the edge-emitting LED (ELED) and the superluminescent diode (SLD).
