ASX-listed semiconductor manufacturer BluGlass Limited has received purchase orders from two customers for its 405nm and 420nm 250mW single-mode gallium nitride (GaN) lasers.
The orders come after BluGlass’ product launch at the recent Photonics West conference in San Francisco.
In an ASX announcement, BluGlass said the customers will use the first products to qualify the company’s GaN lasers within their own applications, which include quantum and robotic uses.
Revenues from the initial low-volume orders are immaterial, but once the lasers are qualified, BluGlass said it expects to secure recurring larger-volume orders from the same customers
Furthermore, additional customer proposals are progressing with several customers across multiple market segments.
“Our newly launched GaN lasers were incredibly well received at Photonics West, reaffirming the need for a dedicated provider to address unmet market needs across several verticals,” BluGlass President Jim Haden said.
“These orders are an important step towards commercial revenues and demonstrate demand for our lasers from key industry players in underserved wavelengths, flexible form factors, and semi-custom designs. As a result of this increased interest in our newly released products, we expect additional orders from potential customers and partners to be imminent.”
BluGlass is a leading global supplier of GaN laser diode products to the photonics industry, focusing on industrial, defence, bio-medical, and scientific markets.
The company is one of just a handful of end-to-end GaN laser manufacturers globally.
