BluGlass released it's annual report today which is well worth a read.
While Sensera is not mentioned directly, you do get a feel for the role we are playing in the development process :
The major focus for the year was dedicated to the continued development of the Group’s portfolio of commercial laser diode products, progressing the 405nm, 420nm and 450nm direct to-market laser diodes through all the manufacturing steps of our supply chain to packaging and testing.Despite the initial reliability issue, several of our laser diode products are now demonstrating commercial specifications forl ight-output, voltage, and wavelength in both pulsing and initial continuous wave testing, further confirming the commercial viability of BluGlass’ epitaxial capabilities and laser diode designs.
We are continuing to work with multiple vendors and expert fabrication specialists with established production capabilities to perform failure analysis and rapidly implement solutions to solve reliability which is the final technical hurdle ahead of launching products to market.
BluGlass now has several iterations, running in parallel, progressing through the supply chain.While this could take several iterations, once a solution is identified and confirmed, this will be integrated across BluGlass’ entire suite of laser diode products.While we initially expected to launch laser diode products in succession as they progressed through the supply chain, we now expect to be in a position to launch multiple products once successful reliability testing is achieved, as our subsequent designs come to development maturity.
The process to manufacture a laser diode involves many complex steps, supplied by various specialist vendors. These devices are being simulated, modelled, designed, and then grown on wafers at BluGlass’ Silverwater facility before they are shipped to the US for multiple wafer processing steps.
