|  | 21. | Uses of laser diodes can be categorized in various ways. 
 
 | 
|  | 22. | In 1984, Pioneer Corporation introduced the first consumer player with a solid-state laser diode. 
 
 | 
|  | 23. | Such a design is called a separate confinement heterostructure ( SCH ) laser diode. 
 
 | 
|  | 24. | A distributed feedback laser ( DFB ) is a type of single frequency laser diode. 
 
 | 
|  | 25. | Laser diodes are available in powers up to the kW range and somewhat better efficiency. 
 
 | 
|  | 26. | Mass production of laser diodes for commercial devices like laser projectors have driven down prices. 
 
 | 
|  | 27. | Some important properties of laser diodes are determined by the geometry of the optical cavity. 
 
 | 
|  | 28. | Laser diodes of the common type have an optical cavity built into the semiconducting material. 
 
 | 
|  | 29. | Most laser sights use a red laser diode. 
 
 | 
|  | 30. | The firearms adaptive target acquisition module LLM01 laser light module combines visible and infrared laser diodes.
