Everyone knows that lasers are basically magic, and if you strap a diode laser or two to a lawn mower, it should slice through those pesky blades of grass with zero effort. Cue [Allen Pan]’s ...

Diode lasers (or laser diodes) are semiconductor lasers which use electrical power as an energy source and doped p-n junctions as a gain medium. As discussed in the Lasers Selection Guide, all lasers ...

Researchers at Nichia Corporation have demonstrated green InGaN-based lasers grown on c-plane sapphire, with lifetimes capable of supporting commercial applications. The demonstration of green ...

Of these processes cutting demands the most power – usually a beam of more than 1 kW. “Laser diodes, and solid, or fibre, lasers are the main technologies used in manufacturing today ...

Image credit: Enlighten Your Mind While early laser pointers were pumped by helium-neon (HeNe) gas, nearly all modern laser pointers use electrically-powered laser diodes as their energy source. The ...

After reading tales about cutters of such size going out of alignment when someone as much as walked nearby, he dropped the idea – and equipped the CNC head with a high-power laser diode module ...

FLC is engaged in distribution of FP, DFB and DBR laser diodes, laser diode arrays, VCSELs, QCLs, incorporating them into laser diode modules free-space and fiber-coupled. Mid-IR LED, superluminescent ...

DILAS, the diode laser company, is focused on delivering the most innovative technologies and advanced product solutions in the industry. Founded in 1994 in Mainz, Germany, with operations in North ...

While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser cutters -- he also loves to play board games and tabletop RPGs. Expertise 3D printers ...

If you need high-quality printing in a snap, a laser printer can produce clean, sharp prints in as little as a few seconds. But, after three weeks of testing each device, not all laser printers ...

The best laser printers on the market are the ones that consistently deliver pages of high quality at lower printing costs than the competition, without causing you headaches. I know because my ...

When the first laser and inkjet printers for PCs arrived—in the mid-1980s—each could print only in monochrome, and their respective advantages were obvious. The differences are more nuanced ...
