BluGlass Limited, an ASX-listed global semiconductor developer, unveiled its first suite of gallium nitride (GaN) laser products available for customer purchase at the SPIE Photonics West conference in San Francisco, US.
The new products suite offers lasers ranging between 405nm, 420nm, and 450nm wavelengths in both single-mode and multi-mode devices.
In an ASX announcement, BluGlass said interested customers can inspect performance data and purchase the products in a range of form factors, such as TO Cans of different sizes and Chip-on-Submounts.
BluGlass’ suite of available products passed entry-level commercial specifications after significant product development, optimisation, and performance and reliability testing, the company added.
The semiconductor manufacturer saw significant demand from customers to deploy BluGlass lasers in their product development programs, which span a multitude of applications, such as 3D printing, quantum sensing and computing, material sensing, and flow cytometry.
BluGlass President Jim Haden said the launch of the company’s laser diodes reflects the significant performance and reliability improvements the company has made over the past year. It also paves the way for first orders and commercial revenues.
“The market is telling us there is a growing need for a dedicated GaN laser supplier who can provide greater manufacturing agility and form factor flexibility, to enable manufacturers to expand their product offerings and market applications,” said Haden.
“Our product offering will continue to grow and improve – with expanded wavelengths, higher-power, and novel laser architectures also progressing through the supply chain. We expect the execution of our ongoing vertical integration plans to further improve quality and accelerate development timelines for future products and enable us to scale manufacturing capacity to meet demand,” Haden added.
The GaN laser products now available for customer purchase include Violet 405nm multi-mode 1W laser, Violet 405nm single-mode 250mW laser, Violet 420nm multi-mode 1W laser, Violet 420nm single-mode 250mW laser, Blue 450nm multi-mode 1W laser, and Blue 450nm single-mode 100mW laser.
