Future electronics may depend on lasers, not quartz
21 July, 2014Nearly all electronics require devices called oscillators that create precise frequencies - frequencies used to keep time in wristwatches or to transmit reliable signals to radios.
Tunable laser to enable bandwidth on demand
13 March, 2014Singapore-based researchers have developed a chip-scale tunable laser that could enable telecommunication providers to deliver bandwidth on demand at higher profit margins.
Osram Opto Semiconductors SPL BKxx-40WFT laser bars
24 May, 2012Osram Opto Semiconductors’ laser bars offer efficiency of up to 65% at 200 W optical output power and can simplify the design of laser systems and reduce their cost.
Lasers threaten LEDs for picoprojectors
16 June, 2010 byPicoprojectors will drive the green laser market and the ideal light emitting device would be lasers due to their capability to deliver highly saturated colours in the widest possible gamut.
Laser cooling
15 February, 2010Nextreme Thermal Solutions says it has cooled a laser diode in a TO-8 package using an embedded thin-film thermoelectric OptoCooler HV14 module.
Helping silicon see the light
09 February, 2010The ultra-small revolution is claimed to have begun with the invention of a laser that allows light to be used on a computer chip.
Lasers come to the aid of cancer patients
19 January, 2010 by ICT ResultsTelecoms, healthcare and display technology will be the major beneficiaries of a new generation of semiconductor lasers developed in a massive European research effort. Better cancer treatment, wider bandwidth and smaller, better displays could be on their way.
Ultra-shallow junctions for sub-32 nm CMOS devices
02 November, 2009IMEC has combined vapour-phase doping and sub-melt laser annealing to fabricate high-quality, defect-free, ultra-shallow junctions (USJs) with abrupt dopant profile.
Big impact from tiny laser
03 September, 2009A massive European effort to develop high-brightness semiconductor lasers could transform healthcare, telecoms and display applications and make Europe an undisputed leader in the field.
Mini laser bars
28 July, 2009The latest generation of mini laser bars from Osram Opto Semiconductors gives eight in the 910-1020 nm wavelength. Their output and beam parameters have been closely matched so that the beam, which leaves the small laser aperture at a defined angle, can be perfectly coupled into a small fibre core diameter with a restricted acceptance angle.
Duplex system
04 November, 2005WaveRider's 1000G ensures that remote sites will have the full benefit of a high-speed network.
The light at the end of the tunnel
05 May, 2005While enormous machines gouge out 7 m wide tunnels from the hard rock beneath Martin Ams' feet as part of the Epping to Chatswood Rail Line, the Macquarie University PhD student focuses on making tunnels just five microns wide
Research finds colour gives cheaper lasers
12 May, 2004An optoelectronics company is set to revolutionise the laser market. Driven by the worldwide demand for inexpensive lasers, British firm Stratophase is targeting a range of markets, from missile jamming to bacterial detection, through developing new ways to create, control and change the colour of light.
Laser Driver
12 February, 2001Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX3930, the world's lowest power 10.7 Gbps laser diode driver.
