New ultraviolet laser technology could increase storage capacity of optical disc media
Graduate students Guoping Wang (L), Sheng Chu (R) and professor of electrical engineering Jianlin Liu (C) were part of the team that discovered the new semiconductor nanowire laser technology
Article Summary
Although ultraviolet semiconductor diode lasers are widely used in data processing, information storage and biology, their applications have been limited by the lasers’ size, cost and power. Now researchers at the University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering have overcome these problems by developing a new semiconductor nanowire laser technology that could be used to provide denser optical disc storage, superfast data processing and transmission and even to change the function of a living cell.
