Abstract
In this contribution we shortly review the more common processes yielding laser emission in semiconductors e.g. inelastic scattering processes between various quasiparticles, recombination in an electron-hole plasma, transitions involving dopants and parametric processes. The possibilities to pump these lasers are shortly outlined.
