Soraa to demo high power blue laser diodes in desktop projector

2012 International CES, FREMONT, USA: Soraa Inc., a rapidly expanding clean-tech semiconductor company and world leader in commercialization of green and blue laser diodes, announced the demonstration of high power blue laser diodes (LDs) integrated into a desktop projector.

This represents the world’s first desktop projector demonstration based on high power nonpolar-semipolar laser diode technology. The company will display its blue and green laser diode technology at its private suite at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 10-13, 2012.

Soraa has demonstrated more than 2 watts from a blue laser diode, and more than 4 watts from a blue laser array with continuous wave power in multi spatial mode and multi spectral mode. At green wavelengths, Soraa has demonstrated more than 100 milliwatts of continuous wave power in single spatial mode and multi spectral mode. The devices can be directly modulated at high speeds required for high resolution displays with minimal speckle.

Soraa’s LDs are based on InGaN semiconductor technology and are fabricated on innovative nonpolar and semipolar GaN substrates. Soraa’s direct diode green and blue lasers offer improvements in performance, size, weight, and cost over conventional gas or solid state lasers for consumer projection displays, defense pointers and illuminators, biomedical instrumentation and therapeutics, and industrial imaging applications.
