- TriLumina's VCSEL Arrays Reliably Operate at Temperatures between Minus 40 
                          and 125 Degrees C

TriLumina, the leading developer of VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting 
laser) technology for automotive, consumer and industrial time of flight (ToF) 
and 3D sensing applications, announced today their completion of all required 
tests for AEC-Q102 Grade 1 Operation, which means it can reliably operate at 
temperatures ranging from minus 40 to 125 degrees C.

This marks the first time any semiconductor laser product has qualified for 
AEC-Q102 Grade 1 Operation. 

The Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) determines the prerequisites that are 
necessary to be accepted by Tier-1 automotive electronics manufacturers. One is 
compliance with the applicable AEC-Q reliability standards; the other is 
compliance with IATF 16949 specifications (Quality Management System) of 
Zero-Defect supply chain quality management standards. The reliability test of 
automotive integrated circuits, or AEC-Q, is broken down into several 
subcategories of which AEC-Q102 (Discrete Optoelectronics) is the applicable 
standard for TriLumina's VCSEL products.

"We are proud to announce another world first for TriLumina," said Brian Wong, 
president and chief executive officer for TriLumina. "We design our products 
from the ground up to perform reliably over wide temperature ranges in 
extremely rigorous automotive operating conditions. Having the first AEC-Q102 
Grade 1 qualified VCSEL product in the industry proves just that."

AEC-Q102 Grade 1 qualification also means the devices are very robust for 
consumer and industrial applications exceeding the quality requirements for 
those market segments.

TriLumina's patented back-emitting VCSEL arrays with optional integrated 
microlenses are used in solid state direct "Flash" LiDAR, ToF LiDAR, scanning 
LiDAR and automotive in-cabin systems with full performance from minus 40 to 
125 degrees C without need for active cooling.
