(Image credit: Epson) Epson has unveiled its new range of high-end laser projectors, and it's making some bold claims about the performance of these new beamers. These pricey projectors are set to take on high-end competitors such as the Award-winning Sony VPL-XW7000ES and the recently reviewed JVC DLA-NZ800. The three-strong new lineup, consisting of the QB1000, QL3000 and QL7000, leverages Epson's 4K 3LCD chipset with support for HDR10 and HLG – interestingly the cheapest model of the range (the QB1000) is the only model of the ...

As part of a NEDO project, Osaka University and Shimadzu Corporation have developed two new types of RGB laser light source modules, including a world-class high-brightness model and an ultra-miniaturized model, and demonstrated their effectiveness mounted on actual devices with the aim of expanding the application of visible light laser diodes.

Oclaro, Inc. , a leading provider and innovator of optical communications solutions, today announced the successful qualification of its non-hermetic 25Gbit/s 1.3 μm distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes for 100Gbit/s transceivers. Featuring leading optical performance with low operating current at high temperatures, the Oclaro 25Gbit/s DFB is a key component for enabling data center operators to transition faster to highly meshed 100Gbit/s connections over single-mode fiber.

Solid-state lighting based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is the most efficient source of high color quality white light. Nevertheless, they show significant performance limitations such as the "efficiency droop". Blue laser diodes operated in stimulated emission offer a potential alternative.
