Researchers at Arizona State University have created white laser light with an array of semiconductor lasers in a compact arrangement. The project helps pave the way toward better lighting and light-based wireless communication, as white lasers are more luminous and energy efficient than LEDs. ASU researchers created a novel nanosheet — a thin layer of […]

LME 2016 Brings Laser Manufacturing to the Southeast
By Geoff Giordano Advanced manufacturing with lasers will be showcased at the Laser Institute of America’s fifth Lasers for Manufacturing Event® (LME®) held at the Cobb Galleria Centre April 26-27 in Atlanta, Georgia — a hub of U.S. automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment and metal fabrication activity. The move of LME to the Southeast from its former […]
The $30 Million Airway Fire And The Wisdom of Certifying Medical Laser Safety Officers
If there’s one image that stays with you after the International Laser Safety Conference, it’s an image of the blowtorch effect caused by a laser striking an oxygen-filled endotracheal tube. Another powerful visual is imagining a concerned — and empowered — laser safety officer walking away from a potentially dangerous operating room situation if a […]
