DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

A Clear Path for Custom Laser Source Projects.

Custom laser source projects usually start from wavelength, output power, operating mode, package preference, optical layout and application environment. We help define the suitable VCSEL, selected EEL, package, optical or module-level path before moving forward.

The process is designed for custom VCSEL wafer-level development, VCSEL array projects, package customization, COB assemblies, optical module integration and selected EEL or pump laser module discussions.

PROJECT FLOW

How a Custom Project Moves Forward.

Each custom project follows a practical engineering path, from requirement clarification to product path definition, sample preparation, test feedback and pilot supply discussion.

01

Requirement Clarification

We start with the target wavelength, output power, operation mode, package form, optical path, working distance, spot size and application direction.

02

Feasibility Discussion

The requirement is discussed from VCSEL wafer-level design, array layout, package path, thermal condition, optics and module integration.

03

Product Path Definition

We confirm whether the project should follow a standard product, modified package, VCSEL array, COB assembly, optical module or selected EEL path.

04

Sample or Prototype Preparation

Samples or prototypes can be arranged based on product availability, custom scope, package form, test needs and project stage.

05

Test Feedback and Adjustment

Customer test data can help adjust wavelength target, optical output, beam behavior, package details, array layout or module-level design direction.

06

Pilot Supply or Custom Production

After key parameters are confirmed, the project can move toward pilot supply, small-batch delivery or custom production discussion.

PROJECT INPUTS

Information Needed Before Development.

Clear input information helps shorten communication time and define the suitable wafer-level, package, optical or module-level development path.
