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 ...

Modern electronics have been reaping the benefits of cheap, compact semiconductor lasers for years now. From the revolutions in CD and DVD optical data storage, through seemingly simple devices like ...

Lasertel, a specialist subsidiary of defense and engineering technology giant Leonardo, has been awarded a $1 million “Phase 1” contract to participate in the US Defense Advanced Research Projects ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode ...

A first-generation process head has been transferred to the project partner Photon Laser Manufacturing (PLM). It is mounted ...

Semiconductor laser diodes (SLDs) are often packaged with a photodiode. The output current from this photodiode can be monitored to regulate the output power intensity of the laser diode. SLDs, ...

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 ...

The U.S. Navy's recent demonstration of its new laser weapon, designed to blast enemy drones out of the sky, proves that these systems no longer solely exist in the world of science fiction. But how ...
