A French-Japanese collaboration has just developed an organic ultraviolet (UV) laser emitting at a record wavelength of 358.5 ...

Modern electronics have been reaping the benefits of cheap, compact semiconductor lasers for years now. From the revolutions in CD and DVD optical data storage, through seemingly simple devices like ...

The ability to detect chemical and biological agents on the battlefield would go a long way toward reducing threats to soldiers. But the systems the Defense Department currently has — ultraviolet ...

In just two years, DARPA's Semiconductor Ultraviolet Optical Sources (SUVOS) program has made 280 nm LEDs a reality, demonstrated prototype UV biosensor and communication systems, and yielded lasers ...

Japanese researchers have exploited their high-quality GaN growth technique to produce the first UV laser diode without indium in its active layer. Using this approach, the team from Hamamatsu ...

Researchers successfully conducted a room-temperature continuous-wave lasing of a deep-ultraviolet laser diode (wavelengths down to the UV-C region). A research group led by 2014 Nobel laureate ...

Researchers have solved a long-standing materials science problem, making it possible to create new semiconductor devices using zinc oxide -- including efficient ultraviolet lasers and LED devices for ...

At the heart of AutoForge is its Automatic Loading System (ALS) — the first of its kind in the laser engraving industry. The ALS handles the entire workflow: loading materials, identifying, engraving, ...
