We design and manufacture high brightness lasers for a variety of commercial and military purposes. We have developed multiple technology platforms, with five issued patents and ten patents pending. We believe our technological capabilities position us to gain market share with products that address important issues of laser performance. Specifically, our technologies provide for high brightness diode lasers for "pumping" (using diode lasers to energize or "pump" large solid-state lasers) a high beam quality for focus on a tight spot and, precise and manufacturable monolithic wavelength control. We are also in the early stages of developing mid-infrared diode lasers that may be used for homeland security and defense applications.
We have demonstrated high power monolithic surface emitting arrays, wherein we aggregate many high power (> 1 watt) surface-emitting lasers onto a single semiconductor chip. This development may significantly reduce the size of a high power laser and may permit the fabrication of large-scale, high power spectrally narrowed laser arrays at much lower cost and much longer lifetimes than conventional technology permits.
