Nuburu, Inc. is a developer and manufacturer of high‐power blue laser diodes and laser systems, leveraging proprietary indium gallium nitride (InGaN) technology. Founded in 2018 as a spin‐out from research at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Nuburu has established its headquarters and primary research facilities in Torrance, California. The company’s core innovation, marketed under the BlueWave™ brand, centers on 450 nanometer laser diodes capable of delivering power levels previously unattainable in the blue spectrum.
The company’s product portfolio includes single‐mode laser diodes, multi‐mode laser arrays, and fully integrated laser modules designed for precision materials processing. Nuburu’s blue lasers offer enhanced absorption in metals and alloys, enabling applications such as micro welding, circuit board manufacturing, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and battery foil welding. These lasers also find use in medical device manufacturing and in the production of high‐performance electronics where fine feature control and minimal heat‐affected zones are critical.
Nuburu serves a global customer base spanning North America, Europe and Asia, collaborating with industrial equipment manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and advanced technology firms. The company has forged partnerships with key industry players to integrate its blue laser technology into next‐generation manufacturing lines, emphasizing improved throughput, reduced energy consumption and higher precision compared to traditional infrared laser solutions.
Under the leadership of CEO Kent Murphy, Nuburu continues to scale its production capabilities while investing in research and development to push the boundaries of blue laser power and efficiency. The company’s strategic roadmap includes expanding its manufacturing footprint, securing OEM supply agreements, and exploring new markets where high‐power blue laser diodes can unlock advanced processing opportunities.
