ROHM’s RLD8BQAB3 1-kW, 905-nm, 8-diode laser array comes in a 5.6- × 3.3-mm SMD package. The spectral output is well-suited to ADAS applications for high-speed vehicles, providing scene illumination ...

The laser diodes are now available at authorised distributor Solsta. All four of the new diodes feature Excelitas’ triple-cavity architecture, offering consistent optical output, low voltage ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Semiconductor laser diodes (SLDs) are often packaged with a photodiode. The output current from this photodiode can be monitored to regulate the output power intensity of the laser diode. SLDs, ...

A wide mode-hop-free and narrow-linewidth tunable laser diode source employing a Littman-Metcalf configuration with a diffraction grating is developed. We conducted a series of experiments to evaluate ...

A team in France has reported what is claimed to be a novel kind of laser emitting in the orange region of the spectrum, suggesting potential applications in flow cytometry and laser guide stars for ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known for less ...

Rohm, an electronic components manufacturer based in Kyoto, Japan, has developed a high-output “RLD8BQAB3” laser diode specified for lidar-equipped advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to enable ...

Vision aids like corrective glasses and contact lenses are a common way for people with vision problems to see more clearly. However, more serious problems could also require eye surgery. Cataracts ...

I’ve got some bad news for you: Our eyes are not always reliable sources of information. If you’ve ever stepped back from a completed project and wondered why it doesn’t look right, it’s probably ...

Many hobbies seem to have a subset of participants who just can’t leave well enough alone. Think about hot rodders, who squeeze every bit of power out of engines they can, or PC overclockers, who ...
