However, realizing a practical far-ultraviolet light source requires a blue semiconductor laser with a wavelength around 460 nm. Originally designed for Blu-ray technology, blue nitride ...

While [Micah] want’s to use these Blu-ray drives for laser graffiti, there are a number of other slightly more useful reasons for the build. With a DVD drive, you can hold a red blood cell in ...

Following along similar hacks which tore the laser diode out of Blu-ray players to expose PCBs ... They solved it by adding a glass plate with a UV filtering film on it. Only the most focused ...

The realization of compact and reliable diode-pumped solid-state lasers that emit UV light is now opening the door to new industrial applications. Neil Savage describes the uses of the technology ...
