High-power direct-diode lasers have emerged as a competitive option for applications like cladding, welding and heat treating. Stuart Woods of Coherent explains why the basic construction and ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by increasingly popular light-emitting diodes, according to new tests. Both technologies pass ...
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 ...
