Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Novalux, a start-up based in Sunnyvale, Calif., has developed a high-power laser diode that it claims is a breakthrough technology for optical telecommunications. The device, which has been dubbed Necsel, for Novalux extended-cavity surface-emitting laser, reportedly yields 300 to 500 mW of nonastigmatic light. "For most applications, semiconductor lasers have been glorified lightbulbs," said Aram Mooradian, the company's founder and the laser's designer. "Many labs, including the defense labs, have tried unsuccessfully to extract a circular, Gaussian beam at high power. We have done...Read full article
