A blue laser emits electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 400 and 500 nanometers, which the human eye sees in the visible spectrum as blue or violet.
Blue lasers can be produced by
direct, inorganic diode semiconductor lasers based on quantum wells of gallium(III) nitride at 380-417nm or indium gallium nitride at 450nm
diode-pumped solid-state infrared lasers with frequency-doubling to 405nm
upconversion of direct diode semiconductor lasers via thullium or paraseodyium doped fibers at 480nm
metal vapor, ionized gas lasers of helium-cadmium at 442 nm and 10-200 mW
argon-ion lasers at 458 and 488 nm
Lasers emitting wavelengths below 445 nm appear violet, but are called blue lasers. Violet light's 405nm short wavelength, on the visible spectrum, causes fluorescence in some chemicals, like radiation in the ultraviolet ("black light") spectrum (wavelengths less than 400 nm).
Prior to the 1960s and until the late 1990s, gas and argon-ion lasers were common; suffering from poor efficiencies(0.01%) and large sizes.
In the 1960s, advancements in sapphire creation allowed researchers to deposit GaN on a sapphire base to create blue lasers, but a lattice mismatch between the structures of gallium nitride and sapphire created many defects or dislocations, leading to short lifetimes(

thumb|Diodes de différentes couleurs.|alt= thumb|upright|Symbole de la diode électroluminescente.|alt= Une diode électroluminescente (abrégé en DEL en français, ou LED, de llight-emitting diode) est un dispositif opto-électronique capable d'émettre de la lumière lorsqu'il est parcouru par un courant électrique. Une diode électroluminescente ne laisse passer le courant électrique que dans un seul sens et produit un rayonnement monochromatique ou polychromatique non cohérent par conversion d'énergie électrique lorsqu'un courant la traverse.
Une diode laser est un composant opto-électronique à base de matériaux semi-conducteurs. Elle émet de la lumière monochromatique cohérente (une puissance optique) destinée, entre autres, à transporter un signal contenant des informations sur de longues distances (dans le cas d'un système de télécommunications) ou à apporter de l'énergie lumineuse pour le pompage de certains lasers (lasers à fibre, laser DPSS) et amplificateurs optiques (OFA, Optical Fiber Amplifier).
Explore l'optimisation des diodes laser quantiques bien, les propriétés de faisceau de diodes laser émettrices de bord, les mesures de gain optique, l'espacement du mode laser et la formule de la largeur de ligne Schawlow-Townes.

GaN exhibits a decomposition tendency for temperatures far below its melting point and common growth temperatures used in metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE).This characteristic is known to be a major obstacle for realising GaN bulk substrate. There ...

Since the dawn of humanity, human beings seeked to light their surroundings for their well-being, security and development. The efficiency of ancient lighting devices, e.g. oil lamps or candles, was in the order of 0.03-0.04% and jumped to 0.4-0.6% with th ...
In semiconductors, exciton or charge carrier diffusivity is typically described as an inherent material property. Here, we show that the transport of excitons among CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) depends markedly on how recently those NCs were occup ...
