The jewellery is also top-notch: the headlights and DRLs are laser-based from a Californian company called Kyocera SLD Laser, Inc, making them super-slim, endlessly malleable and very small.
At the front, the Theory 1 uses something called laser wire from Kyocera in its headlight designs, where the brand’s modern light signature is incorporated using razor thin pieces of wire suspended and stretched taut. Using laser wire is like using fibre optics, but the entire wire glows with light

More recently, laser-based headlamps have emerged. These light sources have been in production since 2019 for the BMW’s Series 5 model, and more recently for the iX3 and iX4 electric SUVs.
Headlight and display technologies promise brighter views of the road and of driver controls but also raise challenges in automotive safety.
In 2011, Harald Haas revealed a technology that would see light-based wireless data pouring from our lightbulbs, yet more than a decade later few have seen it in action. Haas gave a talk at the TEDGlobal conference that introduced LiFi communication, whose recording now has 2.7 million views.

Known as LaserLightTM, KSLD’s groundbreaking technology is the world’s brightest and most innovative light source. LaserLight outshines the limits of LED to deliver safe, high luminance white light from an incredibly small point source that is efficiently fiber delivered. LaserLight, when coupled with LiFi technology, enables secure communication at speeds 100x higher than LED based LiFi systems from an RF-free, lightweight solution.
GOLETA, Calif. - It is smaller than a grain of rice, but a component in the KYOCERA SLD Laser is producing results with more power, distance and performance than most of us have ever seen. President and Co-Founder James Raring says the use of lasers is far from what the average person thinks when they envision a stream of light.
The US manufacturer SLD Laser has launched the first white light chip with a switching function. On command, it transforms into an IR emitter with 905nm and 850nm. Both light sources are housed on the same 7x7mm chip. SMDs are also available with a starboard to facilitate mounting onto the circuit board.
It may be a while before we see a fully autonomous car capable of conquering a Canadian winter, but local research is paying off huge dividends
BELLINGHAM, Washington, USA — Earlier today, during the Prism Awards, SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, and Photonics Media recognized the top optics and photonics products on the market.
During CES 2021, Kyocera SLD Laser, Inc. (KSLD) announced the production launch of the world’s first dual-emission white light and infrared (IR) LaserLight source for automotive and consumer lighting, night vision illumination, precision long-range sensing beyond 250 m (820 ft), and high-speed light fidelity (LiFi) communications faster than 20 Gbps.
SLD Laser, a world leader in commercialization of gallium nitride (GaN) based laser light sources, has announced the completion of the acquisition by KYOCERA Corporation of 100% ownership of SLD Laser (formally named Soraa Laser Diode, Inc.). As a result, SLD Laser has now commenced operations as a Kyocera group company under the name KYOCERA SLD Laser, Inc. (KSLD).

Kyocera Corporation announced that it has concluded an agreement with California, U.S.-based SLD Laser to acquire 100% ownership of SLD Laser.
SLD was honored with the #7 spot on the list of Best Small and Medium Workplaces in Manufacturing and Production. This ranking considered feedback representing over 160,000 employees working at Great Place to Work-Certified organizations in the manufacturing and production industry. Great Place to Work, a global people analytics and consulting firm, evaluated more than 60 elements of team members’ experience on the job.
SLD Laser has been named to the FORTUNE 2020 Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production list! SLD ranked #7 of 15 small-to-medium-sized companies in the nation to receive the honor.
Laser light offers faster speeds and a longer range. It seems like the way to go for wireless light-based communication. But will fiber optics without the fiber really work?
SLD Laser says its new lights not only light up the road, but also transfer data from car-to-car — yes, through the lights
The new lamps in BMW's M5 are more precise and efficient than their predecessors, and could someday broadcast data.
#7 SLD Laser - The laser in the grille seemed like it could have lit up Vegas 20 miles away. Maybe we should all send letters to NHTSA and say, “ I want my… I want my… I want my laser lights!”
The company's Li-Fi system blows Wi-Fi transmission rates and LED lumens out of the water.
