Laser diodes history

Once the weaklings of the laser world, unable to emit a few milliwatts continuously at room temperature, laser diodes have become workhorses. Today they power the Internet, pump multikilowatt lasers, and weld plastics. There’s a lot of innovation in those tiny chips. Photonic Frontiers: Laser diodes: Looking back/Looking forward: Laser diodes have come a long →

VMM electronics prototyping method

VMM is a method to implement dense disk built electronic circuit connections without special tools. It is developed by Jouko Paloheimo. VMM enables dense-performance couplings on the building, the method conducted in circuit boards can be used for integrated land use and voltage levels. The method is based on standard circuit board material, thin wiring →

50 years of Moore’s law

Moore’s Law is turning 50 years old. On April 19, 1965, Electronics magazine published a paper in which Gordon Moore made a stunning observation: About every two years, engineers should be able to cram twice as many transistors into the same area of a silicon chip. At its core of the article was a non-intuitive, and →
