SemiNex: SemiNex launches multi-junction 1310-1550nm laser for LiDAR

SemiNex Corp of Peabody, MA, USA - which was founded in 2003 and designs and makes indium phosphide (InP)-based high-power infrared diode lasers for military, medical and industrial applications - has made available product samples of a patent-pending, multi-junction laser diode that emits more than 20 times the photons/second over more than 3x the range at eye-safe wavelengths of 1310-1550nm compared with 905nm light detection & ranging (LiDAR) systems, which should enable mass-market auto-driving cars to finally become a reality...
