It’s time for a new light source. A new approach that lays the groundwork for making brighter illumination possible. LED has revolutionized the lighting industry, but fails to provide high luminance, directional lighting. LaserLight is the solution with a seismic shift in the very definition of brightness.
LaserLight features the highest luminance of any light source available with more than 1000 Mcd/m2, which is more than 100 times higher than the brightest LEDs. The extraordinary illumination of LaserLight combines the benefits of solid-state illumination, such as compact form factor, minimal power consumption, and long lifetime, with the highly directional output that has been possible only with legacy lighting technology.
Brighter than LED
Narrower beam angles
Farther throw distances
Sharper light contrast
The higher luminance produces a longer range with sharp beam contrast without bulky optics. By replacing an LED source with a LaserLight source, the beam angle can be reduced from 8-10 degrees to 1-2 degrees, delivering up to 10x the range and visibility. Additionally, LaserLight enables lighting systems with 1/10 the size for ultra-compact, bright sources.
For future applications, LaserLight technology is being designed into next generation illumination systems involving dynamic beam shaping, enhanced visibility imaging and LiDAR for emerging smart car and smart city applications, and LiFi high speed data communication for 5G and beyond.
The KYOCERA SLD Laser reflective system uses a high-powered blue laser to illuminate a phosphor resulting in safe, bright white light.
A laser produces a beam of high intensity blue light.
The phosphor converts the laser light to broad-spectrum, incoherent white light, eliminating laser eye-safety risk.
High performance phosphor element
In 1994, Dr. Shuji Nakamura invented the blue LED, which revolutionized lighting, and the invention of the blue laser led to the ubiquitous Blu-ray technology. For his contributions to LED, Dr. Nakamura won the Nobel prize in 2014.
As disruptive as LED has been to the lighting industry by providing a highly efficient, cost effective, solid state alternative to lamps over the last decade, Dr. Nakamura isn't satisfied. He has advanced his focus toward the promise of lasers to fulfill the gaps that LED can't with bright, efficient LaserLight.
The world's first high luminance, white LaserLight source delivers 100 times the luminance of LEDS, for ultra-long beam distance, narrow beam angles and small optic sizes.
