Inno Laser Technology

What Inno Laser Technology does

Inno Laser Technology (英诺激光科技股份有限公司, INNO LASER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION LIMITED) is a Chinese precision laser technology company founded in 2011 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange ChiNext board (301021.SZ, IPO July 2021). The company designs, manufactures, and sells industrial solid-state DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State) lasers spanning infrared to deep UV wavelengths and pulse durations from nanosecond through femtosecond. Its core product lines include nanosecond series (FORMULA, FOTIA, FIT, ELITE MOPA), picosecond series (AMT), femtosecond series (AOFEMTO), the Insight laser scanning photoacoustic microscope (RSPAM), and specialized equipment such as Adamant diamond-cutting systems and LSO/LACE/XBC laser tools for photovoltaic cell manufacturing. Self-developed core modules — ultrafast seed sources, nonlinear crystal high-temperature furnaces, and frequency-conversion technology (notably the world-leading 266nm deep UV picosecond laser) — form the technology base. The company operates three Chinese production/R&D bases (Shenzhen Nanshan HQ, Shenzhen Guangming, Changzhou) plus a US subsidiary, Advanced Optowave Corporation (AOC) in Long Island, NY.

Inno Laser earns revenue through three streams: (1) one-time hardware sales of standardized laser units; (2) project-based custom laser module solutions with bespoke optical design and system integration; and (3) recurring after-sales service and spare parts under a "double support + full service" model. It sells primarily via direct enterprise sales to global manufacturers across consumer electronics (smartphone/display/wearable micro-processing — primary), new energy/photovoltaics (solar cell laser patterning — primary), biomedical/medical devices (cardiovascular stent cutting, photoacoustic imaging), semiconductor/chip manufacturing (deep UV defect detection, LOW-K processing), 3D printing, and emerging Micro LED mass transfer. The company has deployed 10,000+ laser units across 20+ countries. Vertical specialization is reinforced by application-specific subsidiaries: Inno PV (英诺光伏) for solar equipment and a controlling stake in Paisheng Technology (派生科技) for medical device CDMO. Headcount is 600+ as of end-2023.

The company serves enterprise customers including Tianma Microelectronics (天马微电子), Xiangsheng Laser (翔声激光), Tsinghua University (清华大学, for the Insight microscope / Neuron publication collaboration), and an unnamed top-tier customer receiving the first Micro LED laser dechip equipment. Strategic priorities are diversifying beyond the consumer electronics cycle by pushing into Micro LED display manufacturing, next-generation photovoltaic (XBC, TOPCon) laser equipment, biomedical CDMO services, and high-power thin-disc ultrafast lasers (Shenzhen Major S&T Special Project, 2024).
