Global semiconductor developer BluGlass Limited has received its first α Purchase order for gallium nitride distributed feedback laser.

This client is a pioneer in photon and fiber laser technology and will use BluGlass's blue prototype DFB laser to develop cutting-edge defense, aviation, and scientific applications.

Quantum sensing, navigation, and computing applications are driving a huge demand for compact single frequency laser sources.

Single frequency visible light lasers have unique characteristics required to stimulate quantum transitions, making them suitable for very promising military and commercial applications, including advanced robotics technology, biomedical applications, and atomic clocks for quantum navigation.

In addition to quantum applications, the unique performance characteristics of single wavelength visible light lasers will also drive progress in ranging and underwater communication, gas sensing, long-range threat detection, and high-performance spectroscopic applications.

Gallium nitride DFB lasers are the ideal choice for achieving the strict frequency, beam fidelity, narrow linewidth, high power, and efficiency required for these next-generation technologies.

BluGlass is one of the earliest companies in the world to develop feasible DFB lasers in gallium nitride, as part of its collaboration with the SLEEC Alliance at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

BluGlass CEO Jim Haden said, "Our first customer order for the BluGlass prototype GaN DFB reflects a strong interest in these ultra precision lasers for quantum, defense, and commercial applications.".

New features such as DFB lasers form a key pillar of our growth strategy, and we will continue to utilize our RPCVD technology to enhance BluGlass's DFB lasers, achieving advanced single frequency performance at blue and higher wavelengths.

Although this order reflects an important strategic step taken by BluGlass in the development of laser diodes and indicates the customer's demand for GaN DFB lasers, the revenue from this order is not significant.
