Han's Laser Technology Co., one of the world's largest manufacturers of industrial laser systems, announces the first fully tunable end-pumped diode laser generator and unveils several new laser systems at the IMTS show in Chicago including a high performance laser engraver and quad fiber laser welding system.
Springer editorial board member Alexander G. Litvak will receive the 2008 Kenneth J. Button Prize which is administered by the Institute of Physics in London. He is awarded the prize for his outstanding contributions to research on plasma physics and the generation and amplification of coherent millimeter wave, terahertz and infrared radiation. Moreover, he is singled out for his scientific and technical applications in this field.
Silicon Laboratories Inc., a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, today announced its entry into the consumer timing market with the introduction of the industry's highest stability 100 percent CMOS oscillator, offering a replacement for crystal oscillators (XOs) with shorter lead times, lower cost, higher reliability and higher performance.
Addressing the burgeoning market for energy-saving, environmentally friendly light-emitting diode (LED) technology, Freescale Semiconductor is now sampling the first LED backlight product in its power management IC portfolio. The new 10-channel MC34844 white LED driver IC is designed for LED backlights in notebook computers, as well as in flat-panel monitors with screen sizes ranging from 10 inches to 27 inches.
The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) which establishes infrared standards that provide convenient wireless connectivity and the Visible Light Communications Consortium (VLCC) which is working on research, development, and the standardization of safe visible light communications (VLC) announce a cooperative agreement between the two organizations. This agreement recognizes the synergies between the organizations and the potential to cooperate in the promotion of optoelectronic technologies such as infrared and visible light communications.
Continuing its leadership position in developing the world's thinnest HDTVs, Hitachi Home Electronics (America), Inc. has unveiled the first Plasma Display Panel in its UltraThin "1.5" family. This gorgeous new plasma addition to Hitachi's 1.5 line - so named for its ultra thin 1.5-inch depth - will be offered in a 50-inch screen size, making it among the largest in the UltraThin category.
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Seoul National University (SNU) have learned how to tweak a new class of polymer-based semiconductors to better control the location and alignment of the components of the blend. Their recent results-how to move the top to the bottom-could enable the design of practical, large-scale manufacturing techniques for a wide range of printable, flexible electronic displays and other devices.*
Taiwan's sales of new energy-efficient lights soared during the first half of this year, helped by the Beijing Olympics and higher energy prices that are encouraging the use of lower-cost lighting. Taiwan's light-emitting diode (LED) makers reported that their sales rose 16.1 percent in the first half of this year from the same period a year earlier.
QD Vision, developer of nanotechnology-based solutions for displays and lighting, will address three major upcoming conferences on advances made in quantum dot technology that result in major improvements in color quality, brightness and efficiency for the solid state lighting and display industries.
At the 14th European Microscopy Conference opening today, Bruker AXS Microanalysis announced the European launch of several new products and options for Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) based materials analysis.
