On January 13, 2025, Thorlabs announced the acquisition of long-term partner Praevium Research, a developer of high-speed tunable VCSEL.

 



In the future, Praevium will continue to operate as a department of Thorlabs under the name Praevium Research at its existing locations in California, while retaining its current leadership.

It is understood that Christopher Burgner will serve as the general manager and founder Vijay Jayaraman as the senior scientist in the future. The company will also collaborate with the Thorlabs team in Jessup, Maryland to continue focusing on developing new semiconductor lasers and detectors.

Praevium Research has been collaborating with Thorlabs since joining the Thorlabs Strategic Partner Program in 2008. Over the past 17 years, the two companies have collaborated to develop and commercialize multiple technologies, particularly optical coherence tomography (OCT) applications. Praevium's core competitiveness lies in the design and manufacturing of semiconductor lasers, detectors, and photonic integrated circuits, as well as their applications in the fields of medicine, spectroscopy, sensors, and communications. In addition, this acquisition is two years after Thorlabs acquired JML Optical in January 2023.
