Customers can use the products through TO Cans of different sizes and chip-on-submounts.

BluGlass confirmed it had received interest from multiple customers wanting to deploy its laser products in various product development programs, including 3D printing, quantum sensing and computing, material sensing, and flow cytometry.

“The release of these laser diodes reflects the significant performance and reliability improvements we have made over the past year,” Mr Haden said.

“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.”

Mr Haden said the company’s offerings would continue to “grow and improve”, with further wavelengths and products within its development pipeline.
