UW Laser Won the 2025 COS Science and Technology Innovation Award

On December 29, 2025, the Chinese Optical Society announced the 2025 Science and Technology Innovation Awards. UW Laser was honored with the Second Class Award in Technological Invention for its project titled "Key Technologies and Applications of High-Power Blue Laser Intelligent Manufacturing."

01 Continuing the Glory of Innovation, Setting an Industry Benchmark

The Science and Technology Innovation Award of the Chinese Optical Society (COS) is a highly authoritative innovation recognition platform in China’s optical field. It aims to honor outstanding contributors in optics, optical engineering and related disciplines, and promote the development of the optical industry and talent cultivation.

UW Laser's receipt of this award marks its significant breakthrough in the core technology field of high-power lasers, further confirms the core value of its technological achievements in industrial applications, and provides key equipment support for the development of China's new energy vehicle industry.

02 Strive for Intelligent Manufacturing Excellence, Reach New Technical Heights

The award-winning project, "Key Technologies and Applications of High-Power Blue Laser Intelligent Manufacturing," is a major breakthrough independently developed by UW Laser. After four years of dedicated R&D, the technical team successfully developed a 450nm high-absorption blue laser, dual-wavelength high-speed hybrid welding technology, and sensing and control technology for high-temperature molten pools.

The company has launched multiple series of blue and red-blue hybrid lasers, as well as complete welding equipment, which are tailored to meet the manufacturing needs of new energy vehicle batteries.

The project’s pioneering red-blue composite wavelength beam combining technology overcomes key bottlenecks in traditional laser welding. Its innovative beam combining and multi-module integrated control replace conventional single-wavelength solutions, enabling high-speed, high-quality welding of aluminum, copper, and other highly reflective metals.

In practical use, welding spatter and defects are significantly reduced, with speeds exceeding 300 mm/s and improved production efficiency. The hybrid blue-infrared technology increases laser absorption in copper from less than 5% to over 30%, achieving rapid full keyhole absorption for optimal laser utilization.

The technology is now successfully applied in critical power battery welding processes, including covers, sealing nails, terminals, and busbars, providing efficient and reliable solutions for new energy vehicle battery manufacturing.

03 Innovation Drives the Future, Leadership Guides Industry Transformation

This award reflects the company’s 20 years of technical expertise. As a pioneer in China’s laser welding industry, UW Laser has won provincial, municipal, and national manufacturing single-champion honors, and built a complete technology chain covering lasers, automation systems, and intelligent equipment. With strong R&D capabilities and continuous investment, UW Laser leads the high-end laser manufacturing sector and serves as a benchmark for the independent and controllable development of China’s industrial chain.

UW Laser remains at the forefront of laser technology innovation. This award is a significant recognition of the company’s commitment to deepening technological development while aligning closely with market needs.

END

Looking ahead, UW Laser will continue to deepen innovation in laser welding and expand the application of high-power blue laser technology in high-end manufacturing. As an industry benchmark, the company will further increase R&D investment, strengthen international and industrial collaboration, and deliver China’s laser intelligent manufacturing solutions to drive the global upgrading of new energy industries and intelligent manufacturing technologies.
