Etched mirrors transform laser diode arrays
A US start-up reveals a surface-emitting prototype that promises cheaper, more powerful laser-diode arrays.
Compact laser diode arrays that emit more than 1 kW and are far easier and cheaper to package than current modules could result from a new technology being pioneered by a US start-up. Quintessence Photonics Corporation (QPC) in California claims to have developed 2D surface-emitting diode arrays that are made from a single piece of semiconductor.
