Organic lasers are not as powerful as traditional lasers made with gallium or indium compounds, but they can be easily printed or deposited directly on any type of surface.

Indium, tin and bismuth nanoparticles successfully mediated crotylation of carbonyl compounds in water to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols with good to excellent yields in a short time.

Luxtera's design eliminates the need to use expensive group iii-v compounds, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphate (InP), in the semiconductors.
