It’s official — the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has installed the highest peak power laser diode arrays in the world. Altogether, the new system will represent a peak power of 3.2 megawatts ...

The Cascades diode laser array, a water-cooled, 1 cm array, provides 100W of continuous-wave (CW) output power in the 790 nm to 815 nm range. It targets next generation diode-pumped, solid-state ...

Intense is developing a laser module which will have the capability of printing text and bar codes on fresh fruit produce labels. The speed and the scale of the printing is achieved by the use of a ...

Sony Corporation today announced that it has developed a high-power, short-wavelength red semiconductor laser array diode, ideal for use as a light source in projection devices. In order to do so, ...

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 in ...

The videos from [styropyro] are always amusing and informative. However, ironically for him, he is alarmed that many green laser pointers are more powerful than they are supposed to be. Sure, you ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have created the world’s highest peak-power laser diode array, capable of creating up to 3.2 megawatts. The new device will be used in ...
