Results for tag: "Super Luminescent Diode"

The Super Luminescent Diode (SLD) is a type of semiconductor device used in optical communication systems. It is a light-emitting diode (LED) that emits light in a broad spectrum, allowing for a wide range of applications. SLDs are used in a variety of applications, including fiber-optic communication systems, optical sensing, and medical imaging. They are also used in laser systems, such as laser pointers and laser rangefinders. SLDs are typically made from gallium arsenide (GaAs) or indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) materials. These materials are highly efficient at converting electrical energy into light, making them ideal for optical communication systems. SLDs are also highly reliable and have a long lifetime, making them suitable for long-term applications. SLD technology is used in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, and medical. The market for SLDs is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for high-speed data transmission and the need for reliable optical communication systems. Some of the major companies in the SLD market include Finisar Corporation, Oclaro, Inc., NeoPhotonics Corporation, and Sumitomo Electric Industries. Show Less Read more
