In 2024, Amplitude's performance will continue to maintain steady growth, thanks to our continuous innovation in femtosecond laser technology and deep market expansion The application performance of high-power femtosecond lasers in precision microfabrication and industrial manufacturing such as semiconductors is particularly impressive, "said Ruan Xia, Sales Director of Amplitude Laser Solutions Division." In addition, the market demand for research lasers continues to grow, further consolidating our market position.
Regarding the current competition in the domestic laser industry, Ruan Xia said, "The domestic laser industry is facing significant competitive pressure, especially in the mid to low end market, where product homogenization and price wars are evident. From a global perspective, this is a necessary stage for the rapid development of the industry. She believes that enterprises should focus on technological innovation and quality improvement, rather than simply pursuing market share. At the same time, the government and industry associations should encourage technology research and development, improve patent protection, and promote the industry to develop towards higher added value.
In order to avoid low-quality "rolling", Amplitude has always placed technology research and customer needs at the core. Enterprises should clarify their core competitiveness and establish a foothold in the market through technological innovation and product differentiation. In addition, deepening their focus on key industries and building a comprehensive service system are also important means to maintain competitive advantages, "Ruan Xia suggested." Enterprises should avoid short-term interest driven strategies and focus more on long-term strategic layout to build a stable brand value and customer trust.
Amplitude is optimistic about the potential of femtosecond laser technology in semiconductor, optoelectronic device manufacturing, and biomedical fields, especially in the context of increasing demand for high-precision and heat free processing, where femtosecond lasers will play a more important role. In addition, Amplitude is actively exploring the application of femtosecond lasers in the field of new energy, such as advanced battery manufacturing and green energy technology.
For the core application of TGV (glass through-hole technology) market in glass substrate packaging, Amplitude has specially developed and launched the latest product Satsuma X. This series has two power and energy levels (28W/280 μ J and 50W/500 μ J), with excellent energy, pulse stability, and>90% spot roundness, ensuring the roundness and uniformity of the processed through-hole. Satsuma X is compatible with exclusive and patented Femtotrig (real POD) function, burst waveform editable Femtoburst function, and GHz function with up to 3200 sub pulses. Amplitude's high sub pulse GHz burst function has a good application scenario in hole repair after TGV measurement (hole diameter not up to standard or no through-hole).
Regarding how foreign-funded enterprises can seek better development in the Chinese market, Ruan Xia said, "As a French company, Amplitude deeply understands the importance of localization for global development. When entering a new market, pay attention to establishing cooperative relationships with local partners and gaining a deep understanding of the culture and business environment of the target market. Amplitude has also established a service and production factory (Anpu Laser) in Suzhou to optimize products and services to meet customer needs and establish long-term stable trust relationships with customers.
Amplitude is optimistic about the development prospects of the laser market in 2025. Ruan Xia stated that this market confidence is based on several factors: firstly, the continuous promotion of Industry 4.0 will bring about an increase in demand for high-end lasers; Secondly, the rapid development of emerging fields such as semiconductors, new energy, and biomedicine has provided more application scenarios for laser technology. Of course, attention should also be paid to the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations and geopolitical factors on the supply chain, and enterprises should maintain flexible response capabilities.
Finally, Ruan Xia also shared some advice she gave to laser practitioners. From a personal perspective, the core of the laser industry lies in innovation and perseverance, and every practitioner should embrace technological challenges with a lifelong learning attitude. Focusing on a certain field and cultivating it meticulously is the key to shining brightly on one's career path. Always embrace a passion for technology and confidence in the future, making oneself an important part of driving industry development.
From the perspective of the enterprise, Amplitude's philosophy is "Sparking a brighter future with our laser solutions: excellence, innovation, purpose", which is not only a pursuit of technological development, but also a commitment to the healthy development of the industry. Amplitude encourages enterprises to deeply explore their core competitiveness, focus on high value-added markets, and attract and retain outstanding talents by creating an open and inclusive corporate culture, jointly contributing to the prosperity of the laser industry.
Whether it is an individual or a company, as long as they have faith in the future and persist in technological innovation, they will surely create their own "A laser bright future" in the wave of the industry.
