UC Berkeley: New Semiconductor Laser Delivering Power with Scalability


U.C. Berkeley scientists demonstrated a Berkeley Surface Emitting Lasers (BerkSELs), a long-sought breakthrough in scaling laser size with power. “Increasing both size and power of a single-mode laser has been a challenge in optics since the first laser was built in 1960,” said research team leader Boubacar Kanté, Chenming Hu Associate Professor at Berkeley. “Six decades later, we show ... » read more
