The new CUBE 660-100 laser from Coherent delivers 100 mW of continuous-wave output power at 660 nm, making it the highest-power red diode-laser module available from the company so far.

More research into green diode lasers is required to reach the performance levels achieved by blue–red lasers used in laser projection or display systems. Furthermore, the longest lasing ...

In the image above you can see the silver cylinder which houses the laser diode. It is focusing the beam on a light dependent resistor to the right which looks almost like a red LED due to the ...
