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 ...

[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 with ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. TJ McCue is Seattle-based and covers tech & productivity tools. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration ...

Efficient 1.5 W CW and 9 mJ quasi-CW TEM00 mode operation of a compact diode-laser-pumped 2.94 µm Er:YAG laser Sheaumann has developed the first commercially available diode-laser-pumped continuously ...

An LED and a semiconductor laser (or laser LED) work in essentially the same way, that is, light is emitted as electrons and holes combine, with emission wavelength dependent upon the materials used.

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

The miniature laser diode emits more intense light than those currently used. A new laser device created at the University of Central Florida could make high-speed computing faster and more reliable, ...

LASER COMPONENTS has established long term supply partnerships with several of the world’s leading laser diode and laser diode driver suppliers. We work closely with our partners to offer a ...

If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured in ...
