Soraa shows off high power blue laser diodes
The firm's LDs, based on indium gallium nitride technology, are fabricated on nonpolar and semipolar GaN substrates and are being showcased at International CES 2012
Soraa, a provider of green and blue laser diodes, has announced the demonstration of high power blue laser diodes (LDs) integrated into a desktop projector.
The company says this represents the world’s first desktop projector demonstration based on high power nonpolar-semipolar LD technology.
The company will display its blue and green laser diode technology at its private suite at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, taking place January 10-13, 2012.
Soraa has demonstrated more than 2 watts from a blue laser diode, and more than 4 watts from a blue laser array with continuous wave power in multi spatial mode and multi spectral mode. At green wavelengths, the company has demonstrated more than 100 milliwatts of continuous wave power in single spatial mode and multi spectral mode. The devices can be directly modulated at high speeds required for high resolution displays with minimal speckle.
Soraa’s LDs are based on InGaN semiconductor technology and are fabricated on innovative nonpolar and semipolar GaN substrates. Soraa’s direct diode green and blue lasers offer improvements in performance, size, weight, and cost over conventional gas or solid state lasers for consumer projection displays, defence pointers and illuminators, biomedical instrumentation and therapeutics, and industrial imaging applications.
