He is noted particularly for his 1962 invention and first demonstration of a semiconductor [[laser diode]] that emitted visible light. This device was the forerunner of the first generation of commercial [[light-emitting diode]]s (LEDs). He was then working at a [[General Electric]] research laboratory near [[Syracuse, New York]]. He left General Electric in 1963 and returned to his alma mater, the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign]], where he later became John Bardeen Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics.<ref name=Schubert>{{cite book |title=Light-Emitting Diodes |last=Schubert |first=E.

The emission of coherent light was limited to low temperatures. At room temperature, the devices worked as LEDs and emitted incoherent visible red light. The 1962 publication is considered a milestone in the development of pn-junction LEDs made from III–V semiconductors emitting in the visible wavelength range (Holonyak, 1987).|isbn=9780986382666 |oclc= |url=https://sites.google.com/semiconductor-consulting.com/led-book-3rd-edition}}</ref><ref name="aip.org">{{cite web|url=https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories/30533|title=Nick Holonyak|date=February 19, 2015|website=www.aip.org|language=en|access-date=April 6, 2019|archive-date=September 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180912022216/https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories/30533|url-status=live}}</ref> ==Early life and career== Nick Holonyak Jr. was born in [[Zeigler, Illinois]], on November 3, 1928.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nick Holonyak |url=https://www.pbs.org/transistor/album1/addlbios/holonyak.html |website=www.pbs.org |access-date=September 19, 2022 |archive-date=May 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220527135743/http://www.pbs.org/transistor/album1/addlbios/holonyak.html |url-status=live}}</ref> His parents were [[Rusyns|Rusyn]] immigrants.<ref name="aip.org"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://distributedmuseum.blogspot.com/2013/10/nick-holonyak-jr.html |title=Illinois Distributed Museum – Nick Holonyak, Jr. |publisher=IDM |website=IDM Illinois Distributed Museum |access-date=January 17, 2015 |archive-date=March 17, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317011452/http://distributedmuseum.blogspot.com/2013/10/nick-holonyak-jr.html |url-status=live}}</ref> His father worked in a [[coal mine]].

Holonyak predicted that his LEDs would replace the [[incandescent light bulb]] of [[Thomas Edison]] in the February 1963 issue of ''[[Reader's Digest]]'', and as LEDs improve in quality and efficiency they are [[Phase-out of incandescent light bulbs|gradually replacing incandescents]] as the bulb of choice.<ref name="businessweek">{{cite news |title=Nick Holonyak: He Saw The Lights |last=Port |first=Otis |url=http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_21/b3934030.htm |work=Business Week |date=May 23, 2005 |access-date=January 17, 2015 |archive-date=June 27, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627002816/http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_21/b3934030.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref> ==Awards and honors== Holonyak was presented awards by [[George H.
