A Laser Focus World article weighs building a laser beam analysis solution against buying one, noting that although high-quality cameras and low-cost computing are widely available and a home-built beam profiler may seem simple, 11 factors need to be considered in practice.
An article by OFweek Laser notes that in 2025 Maxphotonics became the first company worldwide to ship 10,000 10 kW-class fiber lasers. Drawing on observations from the Shanghai industry fair, the article discusses how 10 kW lasers can sustain growth as the fiber laser industry shifts from price wars to competition on new fronts.
A Laser Focus World article notes that fusion research has shifted toward private investment over the past five years after more than 60 years of public funding. The article examines whether high-power laser diodes are ready to drive inertial fusion energy (IFE).
An article by Haitun Jun continues the breakdown of Lumentum: EML secures the core profit base of pluggable optical transceivers, while high-power discrete lasers, UHP CW, bet on next-generation CPO/NPO architectures. With supply and demand severely mismatched for high-end laser chips, leading manufacturers with in-house capacity simultaneously benefit from price increases, long-term orders and rising gross margins.
A Laser Focus World article covers the key process parameters for laser welding of Nitinol, including shielding gas delivery, heat control and post-weld treatment, along with methods for evaluating weld quality.
An article by Dolphin Research breaks down Lumentum: its share price has risen nearly tenfold in one year, its market value exceeds 70 billion US dollars, and Nvidia invested 2 billion US dollars for a stake in March 2026. The article argues that no matter how optical module form factors change, the position of high-value, barrier-protected optical engines remains solid.
The article profiles Friendess, which holds about 60% of China's low- and medium-power laser cutting control system market and has consistently posted gross margins close to 80%.
AI computing is driving the adoption of liquid cooling, and laser welding of liquid-cold plates determines product performance, reliability and mass-production capability.
Amid price wars and homogenization, the article explores new growth engines for China's semiconductor lasers in areas such as AI optical communications.
The LECO laser process is shifting TOPCon front-side silver paste from aluminum-doped to aluminum-free formulations.
The article analyzes a leading laser company holding nearly 17 billion yuan in orders, with AI-related businesses becoming a growth driver.
High-power laser crystals are used in ultra-intense, ultra-short laser systems and other applications, with CASTECH a representative domestic supplier.

Ultra-narrow linewidth lasers are used in coherent optical communications and other fields, and domestic production efforts continue to accelerate.
Driven by AI and a recovery in consumer electronics, several laser companies expect higher first-half results.
Fujian's laser industry is anchored by upstream crystal materials, laser sources and precision optical components, with more than 200 companies clustered in Fuzhou's optoelectronic information supply chain. Fujian Castech Crystals, Haichuang Optoelectronics, Zhongke Guanghui and Fuzhou Focuslight respectively specialize in optical crystals, LiDAR light sources, fiber lasers and precision optical components. Regional development is also supported by manufacturing demand, cross-strait cooperation with Taiwan, research institutions and local policies.
Focuslight addresses Mini and Micro LED process challenges through laser mass transfer, mass welding and chip repair, with key factors being spot control, energy uniformity and closed-loop temperature control. The Flux H system for mass welding uses a 4000-10000W, 976nm light source, with spot length and width adjustable in segments from 2 mm to 200 mm and energy uniformity above 97%. The Flux H system for chip repair uses a 30-150W, 976nm light source, with a 365um×105um spot and energy uniformity above 90%.
Why we recommend it: Mapping mass transfer, welding and repair to spot and thermal management requirements provides a concrete method for working backward from display manufacturing bottlenecks to laser system design parameters.
