Hobbyist-grade laser cutters can be a little restrictive as to the types and thicknesses of materials that they can cut. We’re usually talking about CO 2 and diode-based machines here, and if you want ...

If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured ...

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 ...

High-power laser diodes have become an essential component in applications ranging from industrial processing to medical diagnostics and telecommunications. As these devices operate at elevated power ...

ams Osram has launched its first commercial off-the-shelf semiconductor laser emitter that delivers the precise 514nm wavelength output (±1 nm)required by many applications for life science in ...
