Fifty years ago, researchers at a handful of laboratories around the world were reporting lasing from the first semiconductor lasers. Our IT infrastructure today relies on their diligence and success.

Ever wonder why projector systems and televisions doesn't use laser illumination? It isn't for safety reasons, and it isn't for efficiency reasons—laser diodes have efficiencies ranging from 30 to 50 ...

ams Osram has launched its first commercial off-the-shelf semiconductor laser emitter that delivers the precise 514nm wavelength output (±1 nm)required by many applications for life science in ...
