Although laser diodes have been available since the 1960s, only recently have efficacies been high enough for consideration in illumination applications, notably in high-end headlamps for automobiles.

So laser diodes are just a little lower down on the maturity curve than high-brightness white LEDs which are currently the darling of the lighting world. Laser diode emitters have a higher system ...

Asahi Kasei Corporation succeeded in designing a laser diode that emits deep-ultraviolet light. The laser diode emits the world's shortest lasing wavelength, ...

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 ...

The human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by increasingly popular light-emitting diodes, according to new tests. Both technologies pass ...

Laser lighting provides significantly higher performance, but it will be at a price premium initially (20-30% higher) and not affordable for mid-range vehicles.

The CAVILUX HF pulsed diode laser light source is ideal for use with high-speed camera both for industry and research and development.

Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but the laser diode generates a smaller beam that is easier to couple with the smaller core of singlemode fibers.

Nagoya University researchers say they have designed a laser diode that emits the shortest-wavelength ultraviolet light to-date, with potential applications in disinfection, dermatology, and DNA ...
