Luminus adds red and blue multi-mode lasers
Luminus Devices Inc of Sunnyvale, CA, USA – which designs and makes LEDs and solid-state technology (SST) light sources for illumination markets – has expanded its laser portfolio with new multi-mode red and blue lasers for laser projection, lighting, illumination, biometric monitoring, and materials processing applications.
The red multi-mode laser achieves 1.2W continuous wave output at 640nm in a TO56 package. Luminus says that its advanced chip technology and electrically neutral case design enable superior thermal stability across diverse applications. The blue multi-mode laser delivers 2W minimum continuous wave output at 450nm, featuring an integrated Zener diode and TO56 package optimized for thermal conductivity and extended lifetime. Primary applications include stage lighting, illumination, and material processing applications like cutting and engraving.
“The launch of an expanded laser portfolio signifies our commitment to enhancing our product span in optoelectronic solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” says Chun-Jui Lee, laser business line director. “After introducing ~100mW-class single-mode green and blue lasers last year, Luminus is expanding their offering with high-output-power laser packages, demonstrating continued achievements in fields such as laser epitaxy, chip processing, and laser chip packaging.”
Luminus says that the red laser introduction establishes it as one of the few manufacturers offering complete RGB laser light sources, essential for white light reproduction. The lasers are said to deliver excellent wall-plug efficiency, benefiting battery-powered systems while making laser light sources accessible across consumer, medical, life sciences, and industrial markets. Luminus plans to expand its laser portfolio with additional wavelengths and advanced packaging solutions.
Luminus is exhibiting in booth #2043 at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, CA, USA (28–20 January).
