Shimadzu has developed a blue direct diode laser in a world’s first
In a World’s First, Machining by Blue Laser Is Now Possible
Shimadzu has developed a blue direct diode laser, thereby providing industry-leading high brightness levels. The 10-W type will be placed on reference exhibit at InterOpto 2013 (October 16th to 18th at Pacifico Yokohama, Japan).
The world market for lasers in a material processing was worth $2.6 billion in 2010, but is expected to surge to $5.7 billion by 2020.*1 With machining lasers, in addition to conventional carbon dioxide lasers, diode-pumped solid-state lasers and fiber lasers are increasingly becoming commonplace. These lasers utilize semiconductor lasers as their pumping sources, and now direct diode lasers (DDLs), which use such semiconductor lasers directly for laser machining, have become a focus of attention as the next generation of laser machining light sources because they are compact, feature high-efficiency electro-optic conversion, and can be mass-produced at low costs.

Flat-panel X-ray Sensor that Directly Converts X-rays into Electrical Signals – SHIMADZU Corporation
An x-ray sensor that converts x-rays directly into electrical signals has been developed for the digitization of x-ray imaging, which has been analog for the past 100 years or so. The device consists of a TFT panel for the liquid crystal display mounted with a layer of amorphous selenium (a-Se), which is normally used for a photoreceptor drum in copier machines. The TFT panel receives the electric charge generated by x-ray radiation on the layer of amorphous selenium for conversion into an electrical signal. The device can handle both still images and moving images. It also reduces the exposure of x-rays to patients. In September 2003, a digital angiographic system (for imaging blood vessels inside such internal organs as the heart) equipped with a newly developed 9-inch-square X-ray sensor was commercialized, followed by an x-ray imaging system of a 17-inch-square size in November 2004.
