Comptek Solutions Presents Scalable Passivation for Next-Gen Laser Manufacturing at Laser World of Photonics 2025

Comptek Solutions is excited to return to Laser World of Photonics 2025, marking our second showcase at the premier global event for photonics innovation.

We are pleased to share that Comptek Solutions will once again exhibit at Laser World of Photonics 2025 in Munich, taking place June 24–27. This marks our second appearance at the world’s leading trade fair for photonics technologies, and we look forward to reconnecting with the global laser community driving innovation across a wide range of applications.

In this premier industry event, we are proud to feature Kontrox™ LASE 16 as the centerpiece of our showcase—our turnkey passivation machine purpose-built for edge-emitting laser diodes (EELDs). Engineered for high-volume manufacturing, this compact yet robust system incorporates our proprietary crystalline oxide passivation process—a patented method that tackles one of the laser industry’s most persistent reliability challenges for III-V materials: oxidation-induced facet degradation.

By tackling the root cause of catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD), our innovative passivation method significantly improves the performance, yield, and long-term stability of GaAs-, AlGaAs-, and InP-based laser devices. The Kontrox LASE 16 delivers consistent, repeatable results on high-Al content laser bars and other demanding structures—making it a game-changer for laser manufacturers aiming to scale efficiently without compromising device reliability or throughput.

In addition to EELDs, we will also highlight the broader reach of our passivation technology across microLEDs, power electronics, and beyond —all segments where surface passivation is becoming increasingly essential for maximizing performance and lifetime.

Our leadership team will be on-site throughout the event:

• Vicente Calvo Alonso, CEO of Comptek Solutions

• Jouko Lång, our CTO and inventor of the Kontrox™ passivation process and a leading expert on compound semiconductor interfaces

• Elias Tsiatas, Our Global Sales & Business Development Director, ready to connect with industry peers and explore new collaborations

  
  

In addition, we invite you to attend the technical conference session led by our CTO on June 24, where he will present key results from our recent work on crystalline oxide facet passivation. His talk will address how oxidation-induced defects limit laser lifetime and performance—and how the Kontrox™ process, when integrated into high-volume manufacturing through the Kontrox™ LASE 16 system, enables a more robust and scalable path forward. Drawing on industrial-scale testing, he will demonstrate how this solution enhances process efficiency, reduces production costs, and enables higher-performing EELDs —especially in high-Al content laser designs where conventional approaches fall short.

Kontrox™ LASE 16 takes center stage at the Laser World of Photonics 2025 expo, where our CTO presents results highlighting its transformative impact on laser reliability, throughput, and performance in high-Al EELD designs.

Whether you're developing advanced laser systems, scaling up production, or simply exploring new ways to boost device reliability—we are eager to meet you in Munich.

Find us at our booth 441 in Hall B2! Let’s push the boundaries of what lasers can do—together.
