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 ...

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 ...

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays represent a pivotal advancement in semiconductor laser technology. These devices emit light perpendicular to the wafer surface, offering benefits ...

It is widely recognized that high-power diode lasers (HPDLs) are compact, portable and highly reliable. Recent advances in their output power and the efficiency of their electrical-to-optical power ...

Compact laser-diode arrays that emit more than 1 kW and are far easier and cheaper to package than conventional diode stacks could result from a new technology being pioneered by a US start-up.
