Red high power semiconductor lasers are expected to be used for the light source of laser projection display systems. We have achieved 6.6 W CW operation of red semiconductor array lasers at a wavelength of 640nm.The energy conversion efficiency is as high as 29.7% and the degradation rate after 1000-hours is less than 10%. The uniform near field pattern has been obtained by applying index-guided structure for broadstripe laser. We have developed projection display systems including hybrid light sources of UHP lamp and red semiconductor lasers, which can emphasize red color gamut. Speckle noise is dramatically reduced by moving screen that consist of gently rotating diffusion sheet and fixed diffusion plate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
