The award was presented in recognition of II-VIs outstanding performance as a supplier of high-power laser diode chips for Xinghans fiber-coupled pump laser modules. The presentation took place at LASER World of Photonics China 2020, held July 3-5 in Shanghai.

II-VI continues to be a strategic supplier of high-power laser diode chips with a strong record of technical innovation, quality, and delivery performance, said Shaofeng Zhou, CEO and President of Shenzhen Xinghan Laser Technology. We look forward to growing our relationship with II-VI by leveraging its portfolio of high-power laser components, one of the most complete in the industry.

Xinghans award is an honor and a strong recognition of II-VIs ability to deliver high-power semiconductor laser chips with high quality and at scale, said Dr. Karlheinz Gulden, Senior Vice President, Laser Devices and Systems Business Unit. II-VIs laser diodes output power is market-leading and enables industrial laser designs with fewer pump modules, which lowers the cost of cutting, welding, brazing, and laser additive manufacturing.

II-VIs pump laser diodes are offered as bare dies and mounted chips. II-VIs broad portfolio of components for industrial lasers includes seed lasers, acousto-optic modulators, fiber Bragg gratings, kilowatt pump and signal combiners, as well as IBS-coated laser optics and micro-optics for high-power isolators.
