Laser diodes can destroy themselves in a few nanoseconds, so testing the response and stability of a feedback-stabilized laser-diode driver can be expensive. The simulator circuit in Figure 1 shows a ...

The development of power diode pump laser sources that demonstrate extended life and higher brightness have resulted in this novel technology becoming commercially feasible. This effect prevents ...

IXYS Corporation introduced the PCO-7114, a compact and economical pulsed-current OEM laser diode driver module that provides up to 50 Ampere current at a fixed pulse width of ≤4 nanoseconds. It is ...

Based on diversity and functional design of molecule structures with color covering the entire visible spectrum, organic semiconductors have excellent luminescence and lasing properties as well as ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

Measuring tiny magnetic fields, such as those generated by brain waves, enables many new novel opportunities for medical diagnostics and treatment. The research team led by Dr. Jan Jeske at Fraunhofer ...

Scientists at Sharp Laboratories of Europe (SLE) have produced the world’s first blue-violet laser diodes fabricated using MBE. Jonathan Heffernan and colleagues at the UK-based subsidiary of the ...

Nichia announces that it is to begin sampling a 375 nm UV laser diode. Nichia is to begin sampling an ultraviolet laser diode. The Japanese company appears to be the first to produce such devices ...

The EL6900C is the world's first laser driver designed specifically for the new Blu-Ray Disc industry-standard disc-recording format. The complete laser diode driver includes a two-channel sample and ...
