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… ...

Laser diodes, the devices that illuminate telecom fiber-optic cables, require light-current-voltage (L-I-V) measurements during production. These measurements let you characterize a laser diode's ...

What does laser diode actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, ...

Hobbyist-grade laser cutters can be a little restrictive as to the types and thicknesses of materials that they can cut. We’re usually talking about CO2 and diode-based machines here, and if … ...

Semiconductor diode lasers are everywhere. They created the light pulses that raced along the fibres between our server and yours – allowing you to read this article – and if you stop at the ...

Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or "optical feedback." Once the light has achieved desirable optical gain, laser diodes release it as ...

The S1 from xTool is something a little different. It's a diode laser with a large enclosure and a powerful 40-watt laser that can cut and etch just about anything you need, with a few caveats.

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, ...

The LLNL laser diode arrays are the most powerful of their type ever built, producing an incredible 3.2 million watts of laser power (Photo: Damien Jemison/LLNL) ...

Wicked Lasers took the direct blue laser diode components and made the world’s first 445nm direct blue diode laser, the Arctic.” Fascinating.
