Japan-based Sumitomo Electric Industries has developed the world’s first laser that’s able to produce “pure” green light (press release in English), meaning its semiconductor laser doesn’t need to convert light to green via another color. Until now, original semiconductor lasers were only available for the other primary colors of light, red and blue. → Read More
Berlin-based eagleyard Photonics is currently working on the development of a green laser to be used in mobile projectors, i.e. in cell phones. The laser features optical output power of 20mW, supposedly leading to brigher images. Whereas it is relatively easy to integrate blue and red laser sources into mobile projectors, green laser diodes cause massive difficulties. eagleyard managed to produce… → Read More

Obviously some mirrors are involved, but watch the whole thing and you’ll see that this guy is no amateur. Any readers who dabble in magic want to fancy a guess how he’s pulling off some of these moves? Laser magician [MAKE] → Read More
