Barely a month after Nichia Chemical Industries Ltd. announced the first shipments of its blue laser diodes, a second company has rushed to incorporate the diodes into a laser system touted as a more powerful blue light source for spectroscopy. In the past, researchers who performed experiments in atomic physics and chemistry had limited options in achieving a continuous-wave (CW), tunable blue light source. Usually they resorted to one of two options: a frequency-doubled dye laser or a Ti:sapphire laser. These systems are bulky and require an expensive, high-power pump source. They also...Read full article
