Another eeTimes article. Included a brief mention of Cree at the end of the article.

Maybe we should be checking up on these ADR's?

Continuous blue laser demo'd


By Yoshiko Hara

TOKYO -- Nichia Chemical Industries Ltd. is pacing a pack of well-funded electronics household names in the race to achieve a viable blue laser for next-generation business and
consumer products.

At a meeting of the Japan Society of Applied Physics here last week, Nichia demonstrated a continuously emitting blue laser diode that operates at room temperature. Such technology is considered a key driver for next-generation laser printers, optical-fiber communications, and such rewritable technologies as HDTV-capable DVD-ROM drives.

"Our target is to put a blue laser on the market next year with a life of 10,000 hours by optimizing the crystal-growth procedure," said lead researcher Shuji Nakamura at Nichia,
headquartered in Tokushima on Japan's main island of Shikoku. "The first will have a wavelength of about 400 nm; products with a variety of wavelengths will follow."
