Corporation for Laser Optics Research Achieves Laser Power Breakthrough; Sets World Record for Blue Laser Output.PORTSMOUTH Portsmouth, city, England Portsmouth, city (1991 pop. 174,218) and district, Hampshire, S England, on Spithead Channel. The district includes Portsea (naval station), Southsea (residential district and resort), and the old town of Portsmouth proper. , N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 1999-- Powerful Blue Laser Smashes Five Watt Barrier; Will Speed Availability Ofesearch (COLOR), a technology leader in using pulsed lasers to project large-screen, full-color video images, today announced that it has set a world record by projectinorld record was also held by COLOR, which succeeded in producing five watts of blue-light output in 1998. This work is part of COLOR's research and development efforts and has potential applications in a wide range of industries, including immediate applications for the movie, television, computer display and projection display markets. "of Directors. "Blue light is the hardest color to produce with lasers and attempts at producing blue light are usually measured in tens of milliwatts. In contrast, COLOR's blue lasers are a hundred times more powerful and the company's engineers have succeeded in shattering the five watt barrier, reaching seven watts and improving the laser's power by 40 percent in one leap." COLOR increased the power of its blue laser by making improvements to the conversion process used within the ColorVision(TM) projector to convert infrared An invisible band of radiation at the lower end of the visible light spectrum. With wavelengths from 750 nm to 1 mm, infrared starts at the end of the microwave spectrum and ends at the beginning of visible light. laser light into a specific wavelength of coherent blue light (446 nanometers). This specific wavelength of blue light maximizes the image brightness for blue laser output. The new conversion process is derived from COLO Colo Colorado (old style state abbreviation) COLO Columbus, Ohio COLO Co-Location COLO Colonial National Historic Park (US National Park Service) COLO Cost Of Living Option .
