Karl Guttag launched his blogs just 2 weeks ago, and he's already stirring up some troubles (and I mean good troubles - as we all want more information and some good discussions). He posted a post about Direct Green Lasers (DGL) - basically saying that while DGLs may be available in 2012, he doesn't think it's possible that those lasers will have good enough performance, and be produced in large quantities and cheap prices.
Microvision didn't like Karl's comments, and posted an interesting post on their own blog. They say that three companies (Nichia, Osram and Soraa) are planning to release commercial DGLs in 2012. Microvision says that these lasers will be more simple to produce then synthetic green lasers and will be cheaper and made in larger quantities. Microvision also says that they expect Pioneer to be their first OEM customers for the Pico-HD module (which uses a DGL) and they have already shipped samples to them. Other OEMs will get samples starting in Q1 2012. Microvision also plan to write a series of blog posts discussing DGLs.
