EAGLEYARD at Laser World of Photonics 2025: Plug & Play Innovation Meets Creative Engineering

With a strong focus on plug & play laser integration, EAGLEYARD presented its new generation of compact, fiber-coupled laser diodes, including:

• DFB Laser @ 795 nm (Fiber-Coupled)
• miniECL @ 795 nm (Free-space & fiber-coupled external cavity lasers)
• miniECL @ 770 nm (Fiber-Coupled)

Engineered for OEM integration, these platforms provide plug-and-play solutions and are optimized for miniaturization, offering increased stability, reliability, and scalability—ideal for transitioning advanced photonics technologies from R&D into real-world, industrial applications.

EAGLEYARD’s miniTAs complement the miniECLs or DFB lasers in a fully fiber-MOPA configuration, providing a compact, reliable alternative to high-maintenance and sensitive macroscopic laser systems. These new solutions open the door to a range of emerging use cases. The new fiber coupled miniECL and DFB at 795 nm are a game changer for example for Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs) for biomedical diagnostics—offering room-temperature, portable alternatives to cryogenically-cooled SQUIDs for detecting weak bio-magnetic signals from the brain or heart.

For OEMs developing next-generation medical, sensing and quantum technology systems, this combination delivers a robust, scalable path forward—with lower  complexity and  higher reliability.

EAGLEYARD is committed to supporting the industrialization of photonic and quantum technologies with practical, field-deployable solutions.

But this year’s success wasn’t only technical – it was also emotional and visual:

More than 1,200 visitors helped build EAGLEYARD’s  THINKING BEYOND wall, brick by brick. Over 1,000 guests walked away with their own mini EAGLEYARD rocket kits. And with 18,000 bricks, the team assembled a towering EAGLEYARD rocket live on-site – a powerful symbol for innovation, precision, and team spirit. Another highlight: Visitors were greeted by LUMY, EAGLEYARD’s friendly new mascot – cleverly assembled from elements of the company’s own product portfolio. With a mix of charm and photonics flair, LUMY became a true crowd favorite, posing for many selfies. Guests were even invited to help LUMY assemble a fiber-coupled miniECL in a fun, interactive body-tracking game, which quickly became a favorite stop.
