Osram Opto Semiconductors launches direct emitting green laser diodes - Green light for laser projectors

Osram Opto Semiconductors launches direct emitting green laser diodes Direct green diode lasers are an important step toward powerful pico projectors. It means that the old laborious way of producing green light by doubling the frequency of infrared laser is no longer needed. What’s more, the new technology enables high color rendering and excellent contrast to be achieved. The wavelength of the new PL 520 laser diode of 515-530 nm produces precisely the right green for projection applications. Its optical output is 50 mW and its eff...
