Kaai was founded in 2008 to commercialize a new generation of high efficiency Gallium Nitride chip-based lasers for consumer, biomedical, defense, and industrial applications.

Kaai is a wholly owned subsidiary of Soraa, Inc. and was founded by world renown semiconductor laser pioneers Professors Shuji Nakamura, Steven Denbaars and James Speck of University of California, Santa Barbara.

The management team is led by Dr. Richard Craig and is comprised of commercial laser industry veterans.

Kaai is vertically integrated and operates a laser diode fabrication facility in Santa Barbara, CA.

Kaai's patented and proprietary green and blue 'direct' emission laser diodes enable high efficiency operation from a miniature chip.

Kaai's lasers are based on InGaN semiconductor technology and are fabricated on innovative nonpolar and semipolar GaN substrates.
