45W RGB laser light source	The Corporation for Laser Optics Research (COLOR) develops and manufactures high powered diode pumped solid state laser systems (DPSS) for laser video display and other industrial and scientific applications. COLOR has designed and manufactured DPSS red lasers capable of up to 10W output, green lasers up to 25W and blue lasers up to 6W. COLOR also builds 1064nm, air or water cooled, DPSS lasers between 10W and 45W for continuous wave or
q-switched operation. Custom configurations and design inquires are welcome. The Corporation for Laser Optics Research was founded in 1987 and is a privately held company. Since inception, COLOR has pioneered development of laser video projection with commercial installations as early as 1996. In 2000, COLOR built a projection system capable of 20 foot wide video in high definition and high contrast. First generation systems developed and built by COLOR used lamp pumped Nd:YAG lasers. Today, COLOR builds DPSS lasers that are reliable, efficient and significantly smaller than first generation lasers. Advanced laser and projector R&D is ongoing and promises dramatic improvements over today’s technology both in terms of cost and performance.
