  • Laser diode emits purple light

    Laser diode emits purple light

    The color is achieved by using specific laser diodes that emit light with a wavelength between approximately 380 to 420 nanometers. Unlike red and green lasers, which are based on more mature laser technologies, purple lasers are a product of advancements in semiconductor laser. Washington D. InGaN) and emitting around 400–480 nm, have been developed quite successfully, now offering substantially better output powers and device lifetimes than green diode lasers. Researchers at Toshiba Materials and Devices Laboratories (Kawasaki, Japan) have developed an indium gallium nitride-based blue-purple-emitting (417 nm) diode laser that emits a pulsed beam at room temperature; they are reportedly working "around the clock" to achieve continuous wave (CW). Electrical pumping can be via a DC current (as in laser diodes), an electrical discharge (noble gas lasers and excimer lasers), or a radio-frequency discharge (most CO 2 lasers).

  • Can LED diodes achieve the brightness of a laser beam

    Can LED diodes achieve the brightness of a laser beam

    LEDs can be much more powerful than LEDs and produce a brighter beam of light. We report a bright fin light-emitting diode pixel that with increasing electrical current flux, can switch to a bright laser., a decline in brightness of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at high electrical currents, limits the performance of all commercial LEDs and has limited. A new design for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) developed by a team including scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may hold the key to overcoming a long-standing limitation in the light sources' efficiency. The concept, demonstrated with microscopic LEDs in the lab. Unlike normal light, lasers emit light that is coherent and unidirectional: the wavelengths are all lined up and traveling together in a tight, directed beam instead of wandering off in all directions. They are used in laser pointers and specialized scientific and industrial applications (optical pumping of other lasers, spectroscopy, surface hardening, welding).
