The U.S. laser diode market was valued at USD 2.75 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 12.7% CAGR, reaching USD 9.09 billion by 2035. Expansion is driven by rising adoption across consumer ...

High-power direct-diode lasers have emerged as a competitive option for applications like cladding, welding and heat treating. Stuart Woods of Coherent explains why the basic construction and ...

Modern electronics have been reaping the benefits of cheap, compact semiconductor lasers for years now. From the revolutions in CD and DVD optical data storage, through seemingly simple devices like ...

If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured in ...

Laser diodes can destroy themselves in a few nanoseconds, so testing the response and stability of a feedback-stabilized laser-diode driver can be expensive. The simulator circuit in Figure 1 shows a ...

Nagoya University scientists, in cooperation with Asahi Kasei Corporation, have succeeded in designing a laser diode that emits deep-ultraviolet light, according to research published in the journal ...

BMW has always treated lighting as more than just a safety feature. Their laser headlights prove the point. First seen on the ...

As anyone who has used an FDM printer can tell you, it’s certainly not the magical replicator it’s often made out to be. The limitations of the platform are numerous — ranging from anisotropic ...
