Nuvoton Technology has started mass production of its KLC434FL01WW violet laser diode, delivering 402 nm wavelength output at 4.5 W in a 9.0 mm TO-9 CAN package for optical systems. The device uses an ...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Robb Report may receive an affiliate commission. You’d be hard-pressed to find a guy who doesn’t want to ...

Researchers at Hamamatsu report an indium-free laser diode operating at 342 nm, the shortest wavelength so far for an electrically pumped semiconductor laser diode. The group III nitrides are a ...

There is keen interest in extending the use of laser diodes beyond traditional low-power devices. Now the techniques needed to increase the achievable output power have become available. Laser diodes ...

[Klaus] wanted some sort of aid for parking his car, and after running across a $4 ultrasonic sensor, decided to build his own speaking distance sensor (.de, Google Translation). Inside [Klaus]’ ...

Lasers are cool and all, but they can be somewhat difficult to control at times. This is especially true when you have hundreds, thousands, or millions of lasers you need to steer. Fortunately, the ...
