Definitions

  • LASER infrared light emitting diodes are an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.” Lasers are used in the creation, amplification, and transmission of a narrow, intense beam of coherent light. The coherent light produced by a laser differs from ordinary light in that it is made up of waves all of the same wavelength and all in phase, whereas ordinary light contains many different wavelengths and phase relations. [0010] If an array of LASER infrared light emitting diodes (“LIDs”) is employed, the IR light's intensity will be greater.
  • LIDs LASER infrared light emitting diodes
