Originally known as "Quintessence Photonics Corporation", QPC Lasers was co-founded by technology pioneer Jeffery Ungar and former investment banker George Lintz.
Using MOCVD equipment at its Sylmar, California, wafer fab, the company developed novel high-power surface-emitting diode lasers that feature 45-degree mirrors etched into the semiconductor's epitaxial structure.
The patented method allows two-dimensional arrays of diodes to be packed into a single chip, and was the basis of the company's initial funding.
