Over the years, by leveraging our material science knowledge for refractory metals, Spectra-Mat developed a new line of tungsten alloys for radiation shielding and of highly porous tungsten structures for different applications. Moreover, Spectra-Mat was able to also phase in the growing market of solid state microwave devices, likely to partially replace vacuum tubes in the long run, by developing a totally new line of products based on tungsten and molybdenum infiltrated with copper. Today Spectra-Mat is supplying thousands of WCu submounts per month to cool down high power semiconductor lasers for industrial and defense application. With the same product line, Spectra-Mat is also serving the growing GaN devices market of power amplifiers for telecom and defense applications, enabling SAES to offer complete solutions (thermal management materials, hydrogen getters and dispensable driers) to the expanding GaN and Ga As applications.
