Brighter, Longer Lasting Blue and Green Lasers and LEDs

چکیده
In the early 1990s, true green or blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with enough intensity for commercial applications were not available. Eagle-Picher and North Carolina State University (NCSU) had achieved groundbreaking developments in creating zinc selenide blue and green lasers and LEDs, but needed financial assistance to continue the research and development. With funding from the Advanced Technology Program (ATP), Eagle-Picher and NCSU (a subcontractor) partnered to develop blue LEDs that were approximately 40 times brighter than those commercially available and green LEDs that were 50 times brighter than those commercially available. Near the end of the project, however, a Japanese company released a blue LED with a longer life span. In response, Eagle-Picher redirected its research into zinc oxide-based lasers and LEDs.

Response of adult mosquitoes to light-emitting diodes placed in resting boxes and in the field.
The response of adult mosquitoes to 4 light-emitting diode (LED) wavelengths was evaluated using diode-equipped sticky cards (DESCs) and diode-equipped resting boxes at 2 sites in north central Florida. Wavelengths evaluated were blue (470 nm), green (502 nm), red (660 nm), and infrared (IR) (860 nm). When trapping with DESCs, 15 mosquito species from 7 genera (Aedes, Anopheles, Coquillettidia,...
متن کاملNa(Y1.5 Na0.5)F6 single-crystal nanorods as multicolor luminescent materials.
A facile wet chemical synthesis method was used to prepare a range of single-crystal Na(Y1.5 Na0.5)F6 nanorods with controllable aspect ratios. Their novel multicolor upconversion (UC) fluorescence has been successfully realized by doping Yb3+/Er3+ (green) and Yb3+/Tm3+ (blue) ion pairs. When doped with Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions, the strong red and green downconversion (DC) fluorescence has also been ...

The green lasers are attractive and highly useful for lot of practical applications. It is more than fifty times brighter when compared to a red laser and thus it can be seen from miles away. Due to these features, the green lasers can be used in high-tech weapons for aiming purposes. More‐ over, the green lasers are highly useful for laser televisions and medical applications. Most of the comm...
متن کاملThe Effect of Imbalanced Carrier Transport on the Efficiency Droop in GaInN-Based Blue and Green Light-Emitting Diodes
The effect of strongly-imbalanced carrier concentration and mobility on efficiency droop is studied by comparing the onset voltage of high injection, the onset current density of the droop, and the magnitude of the droop, as well as their temperature dependence, of GaInN-based blue and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs). An n-to-p asymmetry factor is defined as σn/σp, and was found to be 17.1 f...
متن کاملComprehensive study of blue and green multi-quantum-well light-emitting diodes grown on conventional and lateral epitaxial overgrowth GaN
Growths of blue and green multi-quantum wells (MQWs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are realized on lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) GaN, and compared with identical structures grown on conventional GaN. Atomic force microscopy is used to confirm the significant reduction of dislocations in the wing region of our LEO samples before active-region growth. Differences between surface morpholog...
