High-power direct-diode lasers have emerged as a competitive option for applications like cladding, welding and heat treating. Stuart Woods of Coherent explains why the basic construction and ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

Laser is of prime importance in Optical memories, Fiber optic communications, Military applications, Surgical procedures, CD players, Printers etc. Various forms of lasers like Gallium Arsenide laser, ...

Photonic Products is now supplying Sanyo's latest range of high-power blue-violet lasers. The range includes three new 405-nm laser diodes, which offer 20 mW, 45 mW or 85 mW optical output power.

In the autumn of 2003 the US Department of Defense launched an ambitious program to create diode lasers that are 80% efficient at converting electricity into light. Dubbed SHEDS (standing for ...

Last August, the town of Irondequoit, N.Y., near Rochester, opened its $13 million, 37,800-sf public library. The entry lobby is illuminated by organic light-emitting diode (OLED) fixtures, one of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Laser cutting and engraving technologies have become essential tools across a wide variety of different industries, from manufacturing, art and small businesses. These technologies use laser beams to ...
