A semiconductor which emits photons and releases electrons when stimulated by photons is called

  • a power diode.
  • a laser diode.
  • a zener diode.

Explanation from PART66Online

A laser diode both emits photons when forward-biased and, through stimulated emission, releases further photons and electrons when struck by incoming photons-the defining lasing action. A power diode merely rectifies current and a Zener regulates voltage; neither interacts with light in this way.

Isn't the answer LED?
