What Does SLD Stand For?
SLD stands for Superluminescent Diode
SLD, or Superluminescent Diode, is a light-emitting device that generates broad-spectrum, low-coherence light, useful for applications like optical coherence tomography and high-resolution imaging. Unlike traditional semiconductor lasers, SLDs combine features of both lasers and light-emitting diodes, providing high output power and enhanced wavelength stability while minimizing interference effects. Their unique characteristics make them valuable in medical diagnostics, metrology, and telecommunications.
