Blue lasers are preferable to red lasers primarily due to their shorter wavelength, which allows them to focus more tightly and produce higher resolution images. This characteristic makes blue lasers particularly advantageous in applications like optical storage (e.g., Blu-ray discs) and high-definition displays. Additionally, blue lasers can emit more light energy, resulting in brighter outputs compared to red lasers.
No, but the blue lasers recognize DVDs
Green is the most powerful, next is red, then blue.
Because the red ruby laser is the cheapest. Green lasers are usually more expensive. And the blue lasers found in blu-ray players are even more expensive.
All lasers are illegal if they are higher than 5mw green and blue lasers are not illegal if they are 5mw or less.
Yes. There are both blue and green colored lasers.
In general, red lasers tend to be more affordable than blue lasers due to differences in manufacturing costs and market demand. Blue laser diodes are more complex to produce and require higher precision, which can contribute to their higher price compared to red laser diodes.
because they are
Green lasers typically have the highest energy compared to other colors like red or blue. Green lasers are efficient at converting electricity into light energy, making them popular in a variety of applications such as laser pointers and light shows.
anything above 5mw is illegal, also green and blue lasers are illegal in Ireland.
for their guns and blaster rifles they were red but for their ships the were yellow (for particle shots), red, blue (for ion cannons) and sometimes green but that colour was mostly affiliated with the empire.
As gemstones, abrasives, and in lasers.
More than fifty years after the first functional laser was invented, the blue lasers are the preferred type of lasers for data storage (the blue-ray disks). This is mainly due to their relatively short wavelengths, which means that in case of imaging applications and data storage, they allow for a greater amount of information to be written and read. Also, the short wavelength allows for the strong focusing of laser beam and a very fine structure of the written data. Blue laser has mostly replaced the use of red laser in the area of data storage. At the beginning, the first types of blue lasers had many disadvantages. Initially, they were only gas lasers, which needed high currents and produced a huge amount of heat, therefore needing strong cooling. After that, the first types of semiconductor blue lasers (or blue laser diodes) had a very short life (several hundred hours at the most), even if they worked at a very low temperature (needing almost absolute zero values - 00K - to work properly). But further development solved all these issues. While the red and infrared lasers are usually based on GaAs (gallium arsenide), in case of blue lasers, the InGaN (indium gallium nitride, which has a violet color) and GaN (gallium nitride, which has a true-blue color) based ones are preferred . The ZnSe (zinc selenide) based laser was gradually excluded from research, because of its high resistivity, high energy consumption and very small efficiency. The most efficient technology of building blue-lasers is using InGaN quantum wells to form the active medium.
