Soraa announced that it will exhibit new 4 W blue laser diodes at a wavelength of 450 nm from a monolithic chip. The company showcased the laser diodes at the Photonics West Expo that was held in San Francisco.
The laser diodes have the potential to enable a brightness of over 500 nm. They deliver bulb-free displays with substantially decreased consumption of power, weight and size when compared to traditional bulb-based projectors that are utilized in cinemas, home theaters, and boardrooms.
Soraa also announced that it would showcase results of the new 750 mW blue laser diodes that function in multi spectral mode and single spatial mode. The blue laser diodes are ideal for pico projectors and micro projectors. They are compatible with various display generating technologies such as DLP, scanning MEMS mirrors, and LCOS. The blue laser diodes also complement the company’s green laser diodes.
The laser diodes are fabricated on the semipolar and nonpolar GaN substrates. The blue and green lasers provide enhancements in cost, weight, size, and performance when compared to traditional lasers for industrial imaging applications, therapeutics, biomedical instrumentation, illuminators, defense pointers, and consumer projection displays.
