New calibration options enable significant improvements in the accuracy of new and old devices, which could mean big advances in materials for LEDs and lasers. LEDs have numerous advantages over traditional light sources such as halogen or energy-saving lamps. They use electric power efficiently and, employed in combination with various-colored bodies, can be designed to provide an almost natural light. They are also completely jitter-free. ZnO has shown potential as an active material for LEDs and solid-state lasers. Recent research has shown that the threshold for ZnO microwires...Read full article
