BluGlass Limited advised its gallium nitride (GaN) laser diodes have achieved feasible reliability, successfully demonstrating more than 500 hours of continuous operation with stable optical power and voltage in reliability testing. BluGlass' lasers maintained good performance and light-output during testing at 20-25°C, demonstrating light-output with less than 20% degradation - a key commercial standard for laser diodes. Reliability testing of these lasers is ongoing.

Reliability feasibility is a critical prerequisite milestone for beta production and commercial product launches. These performance metrics enable BluGlass to increase its engagement with potential customers awaiting alpha and beta products, and indicate the design is ready for increased volume. Improvements in reliability are directly attributable to enhanced metals, facets, and bonds, completed by BluGlass' contract manufacturers.

Newer iterations with further improvements to the four key components of laser diodes are currently progressing through BluGlass' supply chain, and the Company is working to increase manufacturing quality and yields with its Silicon Valley production facility and team.
