2024

High-power semiconductor single-bar chips, as the core components of lasers, have power levels that directly affect the size and cost of laser systems. After years of iteration, commercial chip power reached 50W in 2023. Higher power remains the industry's focus, representing the development level of comprehensive chip technology capabilities.
The highest known level to date
Recently, Changguang Huaxin's ultra-high-power single-bar chip has made breakthrough progress in structural design and manufacturing technology. The developed single-bar chip achieves continuous power over 100W at room temperature (chip bar width 500μm) with an operating efficiency of 62%, setting the highest known power record for single-bar chips reported so far, ushering in a new era of hundred-watt single-bar chips!
