A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but ...

Rarely a week goes by that some company doesn’t offer to send us their latest and greatest laser. You know the type — couple of aluminum extrusions, Class 4 diode flopping around in the breeze, and no ...

Nagoya University scientists, in cooperation with Asahi Kasei Corporation, have succeeded in designing a laser diode that emits deep-ultraviolet light, according to research published in the journal ...

Ever wonder why projector systems and televisions doesn’t use laser illumination? It isn’t for safety reasons, and it isn’t for efficiency reasons—laser diodes have efficiencies ranging from 30 to 50 ...

Efficient 1.5 W CW and 9 mJ quasi-CW TEM00 mode operation of a compact diode-laser-pumped 2.94 µm Er:YAG laser Sheaumann has developed the first commercially available diode-laser-pumped continuously ...

When we think about the onward march of automotive technology, headlights aren’t usually the first thing that come to mind. Engines, fuel efficiency, and the switch to electric power are all more ...

The development of power diode pump laser sources that demonstrate extended life and higher brightness have resulted in this novel technology becoming commercially feasible. This effect prevents ...

Laser diodes can destroy themselves in a few nanoseconds, so testing the response and stability of a feedback-stabilized laser-diode driver can be expensive. The simulator circuit in Figure 1 shows a ...

Australia-based semiconductor developer says its 405nm model is approaching commercial specification. Applications include welding, cutting, sensing, 3D printing, displays, and AR/VR. Sydney, ...

Introducing the FIDL-30S-750X from Frankfurt Laser Company, a state-of-the-art laser diode that represents the pinnacle of innovation in laser technology on the world market. This single mode 750nm ...
