About This Webinar
A new generation of visible laser light sources is being developed to enable advanced optical control through the use of miniature optics and reflectors, high-efficiency fiber optic transport, and waveguide delivery. These light sources, which can offer more than 10 times the luminance of LEDs, are now being adopted into automotive headlights, specialty lighting, projection displays, and also developed for biomedical and industrial applications.
In this webinar you will learn about the latest advances in laser light sources and the technology that is now being developed to support this progress. Paul Rudy, co-founder of SLD Laser (formerly SoraaLaser) will discuss his company’s use of GaN laser diodes, phosphor chip technology, and high-luminance packaging to develop novel laser light sources, and will introduce you to SLD Laser’s innovative LaserLight illumination source technology. He will explain how LaserLight source technology uses a laser-pumped phosphor architecture to deliver safe, high luminance white-light output.
