Recently, Laserline, a leading semiconductor laser manufacturer in Germany, announced that it has completed the acquisition of a 70% stake in WBC Photonics, a Boston based laser technology expert, marking a significant strategic expansion for Laserline.

 



Through this transaction, Laserline not only expands its product portfolio to include blue laser systems with excellent beam quality (better than 4 mm mrad), but also establishes its position as a comprehensive service provider in the diode laser market in the blue wavelength field, covering a comprehensive product line from high-precision focusing systems to multi kilowatt high-power applications.

WBC Photonics, This enterprise, created by the management through the acquisition of TeraBiode, a subsidiary of former pine, focuses on producing high-performance diode lasers in the near-infrared (NIR) and blue wavelength ranges. The high beam quality of its laser system benefits from advanced emitter fundamental wavelength beam synthesis technology. This acquisition has opened the door for Laserline to new target markets, particularly in application areas such as additive manufacturing, welding, and cutting that heavily rely on high focusing performance.

Dr. Laserline, General Manager Christoph Ullmann commented, "The acquisition of WBC Photonics is a crucial step towards our goal of becoming a global leader in the blue light diode laser industry. It not only enhances our strength in blue light industrial semiconductor laser solutions, providing a comprehensive selection from top beam quality to global top high-power levels, but also further consolidates our market position in this field.

Michael Deutsch, CEO of WBC Photonics, also expressed a positive outlook: "Working together with Laserline, we can cross borders and jointly enter the global high brightness blue light laser market, promote innovation and development of blue semiconductor laser technology, and strive to become a global leader in this field.

Blue light semiconductor lasers, as a core technology in the electronics manufacturing industry, are becoming increasingly important, especially in the processing of non-ferrous metals such as copper and its alloys, showing great potential.

Due to the absorption efficiency of 445 nm blue light waves for copper and copper alloys being five times higher than infrared light, the energy required for thermal conductivity welding is significantly reduced, making precise welding of highly conductive non-ferrous metals such as copper and gold possible.

Since the first batch of blue semiconductor lasers were introduced, even the thinnest copper components can achieve reliable connections without relying on additional material reinforcement, opening a new chapter in material processing technology.
