Focusing on the semiconductor laser industry, the product technology is comparable to the foreign advanced level: the company focuses on the semiconductor laser industry and always focuses on the R & D, design and manufacturing of semiconductor laser chips. At present, the company has formed a four category and multi series product matrix composed of semiconductor laser chips, devices, modules and direct semiconductor lasers. It is a vertical industrial chain company in the semiconductor laser industry. The company has built IDM whole process process platforms and 3-inch and 6-inch mass production lines covering chip design, epitaxial growth, wafer processing technology (lithography), cleavage / coating, packaging test, optical fiber coupling, etc., which are applied to the development of a variety of semiconductor laser chips. It is one of the few companies that research, develop and mass produce high-power semiconductor laser chips. The company’s products can be widely used in optical pump laser pump source, direct semiconductor laser output processing application, laser intelligent manufacturing equipment, national strategic high technology, medical beauty, lidar, intelligent security, consumer electronics, 3D sensing and camera and other fields. The company’s single tube chip can produce mass power of 30W, wavelength range of 8081064nm, electro-optic conversion efficiency of 60% to 65%, and the product technology level is synchronized with the foreign advanced level.
The market share of high-power semiconductor laser chips ranks first in China: according to the company’s prospectus, the global laser chip market will be about 1.83 billion yuan in 2020, and the Chinese laser chip market will be about 529 million yuan. The high-power semiconductor laser chips, devices, modules and other products independently developed by the company have been widely used in advanced manufacturing and other fields, filling the gap of domestic high-end semiconductor laser chips and devices, solving the “neck” problem in China’s high-power laser field, promoting the overall improvement of key technical indicators of semiconductor laser chips and devices, and promoting high-power solid-state lasers, fiber lasers Ultrafast lasers and other lasers have moved from scientific research laboratories to industrial applications. According to the company’s prospectus, the company’s global market share of high-power semiconductor laser chips is 3.88%, and the Chinese market share is 13.41%, ranking first in China. With the deepening of the localization of laser chips and the continuous improvement of the company’s strength, the company’s market share is expected to rise further.
