A laser beam of intensity I irradiates at normal incidence a face of area A of a cubical sample of intrinsic silicon of volume V. The photons from the laser beam are absorbed uniformly throughout the Si sample.

(i) If the quantum efficiency of intrinsic Si is ?, determine an expression for the electron-hole pair generation rate in the Si sample.   

(ii) Determine an expression for the excess carrier concentration, ??, under steady state conditions.

(iii) Calculate the ratio of the conductivity under illumination, ?light, to the conductivity without illumination, ?dark, for a Si sample of V =1 cm3,

A = 1 cm2, I = 1 mW cm-2, ? = 632.8 nm and ? = 0.3.

An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition with two tiny slits separated by 0.185 mm. An interference pattern appears on a screen that lies 4.80 m from the slit pair. The Instructor's measurements show that two adjacent bright interference fringes lie 1.59 cm apart on the screen. What is the laser's wavelength (in nm)?
