A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but ...

Interfacing laser driver circuits with commercially available laser diodes at high data rates can be a complicated and frustrating task. This application note is intended to briefly address this topic ...

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 ...

Los Alamos scientists have incorporated meticulously engineered colloidal quantum dots into a new type of light emitting diodes (LEDs) containing an integrated optical resonator, which allows them to ...

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 ...

As anyone who has used an FDM printer can tell you, it’s certainly not the magical replicator it’s often made out to be. The limitations of the platform are numerous — ranging from anisotropic ...

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 ...
