US DoD chooses Nuburu for laser contract
Nuburu is one of seven companies selected to participate in $75 million multiple award contract
Colorado-based blue laser company Nuburu has been selected by the US Department of Defense (DOD) to make prototypes and equipment for solid-state high energy laser (HEL) weapon systems.
Nuburu is one of seven companies selected to participate in the $75 million multiple award contract. The other companies include divisions of Rolls-Royce, General Atomics, Dynetics, II-VI, Lockheed Martin, and nLIGHT. Work is expected to be completed by March 2028.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, Dahlgren, Virginia, is the contractor.
“Nuburu has the ability to manufacture laser diode, fibre optic and optical subsystems in the US making us well positioned to support the DOD with its needs regarding this critical next-generation national security issue,” said Mark Zediker, CEO and co-founder of Nuburu. “We are proud to use our automated manufacturing capabilities and a workforce entirely based in the US to provide high-power laser subsystems for our customers.”
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
