Abstract
This chapter describes a coupled electrical and optical model for the conversion of electrial energy into coherent optical energy by solid state device. Such devices are used as exposure sources in photography and medicine, and in optical transmission lines for telephones. John Spence from Eastman Kodak has presented, on April 6, 1990, a solid state laser model, and discussed numerical results which he and Keith Kahen (from Eastman Kodak) have been developing. He concluded by presenting some mathematical problems.
