Nakamura nitride blue laser

But the nonlinear optics focused on organic frequency doubling crystals and poled polymers was dealt a mortal blow by Nakamura s59 practical development of the "gallium nitride" (InYC,a, YN/GaN) blue laser [149-151], which is revolutionizing lighting and consumer laser technology.

Since the seminal discovery of nitride-based blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by Maruska and Tietjen [39] in 1972, and of injection lasers [40] by Nakamura in 1995, the interest in Group 13 nitrides has increased rapidly, and has resulted in a broad usage for electrical and optical applications. Some thirty years after the first discovery...
