Diode Lasers In Manufacturing
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The ease with which modern day electronics are manufactured has a great deal to do with diode lasers, which employ the use of minuscule Gallium-Arsenide or other appropriate semiconductor chips as a means by which to generate coherent light in a very small package. Manufacturing has become much faster and simpler due in part to the fact that the energy variance between valence band electrons and conduction is the primary device for laser action. The familiarity of an LED is similar to that of the diode laser, however, one significant difference resides in the actual optical expenditure it is capable of outputting. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Does Technology Yield More Harm or More Good in Our Lives?
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing some of technology’s potentials for both good and ill, and some manifestations of each already witnessed. In either view, technology itself is neutral and is neither good nor bad. It is our use that determines the worth of it, and only we can determine whether that use will be beneficial or for harm. In what can be accomplished through its application, the ultimate conclusion is that its benefits far outweigh its potential for and history of abuse. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
