Laser diodes are widely used in entertainment applications in of state-of-the-art laser effects and light shows. The laser light shows dramatically increase the impact of any visual display or performance and when executed to their full potential can create a unique experience. Here is our guide to selecting the best laser diodes for creating a professional and high quality light show.
Applications
Delivering a vivid color palette and three-dimensional reach, visible laser light is intrinsically eye- catching and can be used to striking effect in a broad range of applications. Laser displays can become attractions in themselves in amusement park settings, they can direct attention within art exhibitions and installations, and they can be used as an impactful advertising medium at events. For the widest range of colors or wavelengths, select a supplier who works with a number of laser diode manufacturers offering a full range of wavelengths.
