      Toshiba Preps Low-Noise Blue Laser

      Japanese electronics giant Toshiba Corp. next week will show off a new blue-violet diode laser with record low noise and high output power. Due for demonstration at the CEATEC Japan 2003 expo in Makuhari Messe, the gallium nitride-based device emits 200 milliwatta at 409 nanometers in continuous-wave mode. Toshiba says that the noise level of -132 dB/Hz is the best ever achieved in a blue diode laser, although the figure quoted was measured when the laser emitted only 3mW. Over the next few years, blue-diode-laser-based optical disc systems are set to replace the systems based on red diode lasers that are used in current DVD technology.
