Tohoku and Sony develop first 100W blue-violet ultra-fast pulsed semiconductor laser

Professor Hiroyuki Yokoyama of Tohoku University’s New Industry Creation Hatchery Center (NICHe) and Sony Corp’s Advanced Materials Laboratories in Japan have jointly developed a blue-violet indium gallium nitride (InGaN)-based ultra-fast pulsed semiconductor laser with peak output that is 100 times that of the highest output for existing conventional blue-violet pulse semiconductor lasers (Appl. Phys. Lett. vol 97, issue 2, 021101).
