Lasers finding new applications

Published by fujica at 5:35 pm under New technology Edit This

The new Cooltech blog at Today is born.  Come back often for a mix of high-tech product news, introductions to the coolest gadgets and a glimpse of things to come.

Our introductory post is about new laser technology.

A glimpse into the future perhaps? It’s hard to talk about the future when you’re talking about technology. The future usually refers to a month from now. So is the case with laser applications. What was once science-fiction is finding new applications every day.

QPC lasers is introducing their BrightLase(R) Red-Green-Blue “RGB” laser for use in high resolution miniature projectors.  Why a miniature projector you ask?  With the tiny screens on many portable consumer devices; Internet browsing, games and video sharing can be difficult. The miniature projector solves that problem.

The new lasers are expected to find their way into PDAs, games, laptops, automobiles, and aircraft.  The RGB laser is designed to be compatible with the leading micro-display technologies.

It seems like yesterday that we were witnessing lasers used as the weapon of choice in Sci-fi flicks. Then we graduated to laser pointers. Now lasers will expand beyond CD players to yet another useful application.
