Needless to say, we’re fascinated by LEDs, laser diodes, and other blinkies. Although we can get just about any light emitting thing, the data sheets aren’t always accurate or available. For his ...

Before the development of laser diodes, there was the light-emitting diode. Both of these devices are electrical-to-optical energy converters. The LED produces scattered, noncoherent light in a ...

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.

Agreement expected to accelerate development of high-performance optoelectronic components. Sharp Corporation (head office: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President: Kozo Takahashi; below "Sharp") and ...

Now researchers in Japan have reported the world’s first continuous-wave UV-B semiconductor laser diode operating at room ...

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing ...

When we think about the onward march of automotive technology, headlights aren’t usually the first thing that come to mind. Engines, fuel efficiency, and the switch to electric power are all more ...

If you love the lasers of science fiction, rejoice because the future will be full of them, according to Nobel laureate Shuji Nakamura, co-inventor of the blue light-emitting diode (LED). The power ...

Osram and Sharp have cross-licensed LED and laser-diode patents, while Zumtobel appoints a new CEO and its Tridonic business completes the sale of its magnetic ballast plant in Australia. Osram GmbK ...

Before going into exterior lighting solutions for all things automotive, it's necessary for us to remember that – in the olden days of black and white everything – horse-drawn carriage lamps used ...

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 ...
