An LED and a semiconductor laser (or laser LED) work in essentially the same way, that is, light is emitted as electrons and holes combine, with emission wavelength dependent upon the materials used.

Last August, the town of Irondequoit, N.Y., near Rochester, opened its $13 million, 37,800-sf public library. The entry lobby is illuminated by organic light-emitting diode (OLED) fixtures, one of the ...

Serving as CW light sources in fiber optic transmission systems that employ external modulators, the NX8570 and NX8571 series DFB laser diode modules provide eight channels, tunable with 50 GHz ...

The human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by increasingly popular light-emitting diodes, according to new tests. Both technologies pass ...

Needless to say, we’re fascinated by LEDs, laser diodes, and other blinkies. Although we can get just about any light emitting thing, the data sheets aren’t always accurate or available. For his ...

Osram Opto Semiconductors has introduced the first compact laser multi-chip package. The PLPM4 450 module can pack up to 20 blue laser chips into a single "butterfly" package for projection ...

LASER COMPONENTS designs and manufactures many different optical emitters and detectors including laser diodes. In addition to our own products, we have established long term supply partnerships with ...

Color digital laser and light-emitting diode printers are very similar. Both can print your business documents relatively quickly by melting toner to the paper, and both use a photosensitive drum. The ...
