| Partly as a result of the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic, demand for photonic components like this pump laser from Lumentum has surged in recent months. Lumentum's business still relies largely on the communications sector, but that is set to change significantly once the planned merger with Coherent is completed. That will result in a much more diversified applications base, with Coherent set to add substantial business across the displays, bioinstrumentation, defense, and research sectors.
