Brighter and More Efficient Solid-State Lighting using Laser Diodes
5 min readAug 18, 2013
Solid-state lighting in the form of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) converts electrical energy into visible light with greater efficiency and less heat loss when compared to incandescent or fluorescent lights.
Above a certain current, however, LEDs become less efficient and convert less of their electrical energy into light. This is a condition known…
