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.
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) ...
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 ...
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 … ...
[Smells of Bikes] wanted to add laser etching to the list of tricks his home CNC setup is capable of. He has a diode which will work for the task, but he needed a driver that could be interfaced wi… ...
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 ...
ROHM’s new 1-kW, 905-nm, 1x8 laser array is aimed at LiDAR and ADAS applications. Andy also provides his EDitor’s Take on designing with this component.
Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, ...
KYOCERA SLD Laser, Inc. (KSLD), a world leader in commercialization of laser light sources, is introducing its new high power 5 watt blue laser diode ...
