BluGlass (BLG) has been invited to join the University of California, Santa Barbara’s (UCSB) Solid-State Lighting and Energy Electronics Centre (SSLEEC) consortium.

The SSLEEC is an invitation-only collaboration between industry leaders and the pre-eminent University of California, Santa Barbara’s gallium nitride researchers.

The consortium includes blue-LED inventor and Nobel Laureate, Professor Shuji Nakamura, and industry luminary Professor Steven DenBaars.

The SSLEEC have been researching materials growth, simulation, characterisation, device design and fabrication for high-efficiency LEDs and laser diodes for more than 15 years.

With the membership in hand, BluGlass will have access to UCSB’s world-class faculty, facilities, and specialist researchers, which will be invaluable in accelerating product development roadmaps for its novel blue and green laser diodes.

BluGlass President Jim Haden said the company is delighted to be invited to join the world’s leading gallium nitride (GaN) industry and academic consortium, which is a testament to the cutting-edge development being conducted at BluGlass.

“Our membership enables us to leverage the expertise of industry pioneers Drs Shuji Nakamura and Steven DenBaars and to fast-track our advanced product roadmaps,” Mr Haden said.

“It also enhances our credibility with potential customers and partners, reinforcing our expertise in GaN laser diodes.”

BluGlass was steady on the market with shares trading at three cents nearing market close.
