Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing applications; however, previous UV-B laser diodes were limited to pulsed operation ...
Scientists have developed the first electrically pumped continuous-wave semiconductor laser composed exclusively of elements from the fourth group of the periodic table -- the 'silicon group'. Built ...
A compact ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor laser diode emitting at 318 nm under continuous-wave operation at room-temperature. The device demonstrates stable UV-B lasing on a low-cost sapphire ...
