High-quality white light produced by four-color laser source; Diode lasers could challenge LEDs for home and industrial lighting supremacy

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - 16:30 in Physics & Chemistry

The human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by increasingly popular light-emitting diodes, according to new tests. Both technologies pass electrical current through material to generate light, but the simpler LED emits lights only through spontaneous emission. Diode lasers bounce light back and forth internally before releasing it.
