[Styropyro] filmed the video above as a tutorial on building a 1W blue laser. The “flashlight” that he starts with includes a heat sink intended for a laser diode.

Green diode lasers a big breakthrough for laser-display tech Japanese researchers demonstrate the missing link in laser display technology … ...

Researchers successfully conducted a room-temperature continuous-wave lasing of a deep-ultraviolet laser diode (wavelengths down to the UV-C region).

And if you can’t get enough about diode lasers, the Institute of Physics is putting on a conference in Leicester in September called The Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Diode Laser.

Narrow bandwidth Previous attempts to produce laser-diode based 514 nm emitter modules have been hampered by the substantial logistics effort required in the past to customize laser diodes binned by a ...
