Source Photonics Expands Laser Operations with New Fab in Jintan, China
Source (News - Alert) Photonics and the Jintan Economic Development Zone are pleased to
announce the establishment of a new optical laser facility in Jintan,
China.
Increasing demand for more bandwidth in cloud data centers, optical
networks, wireless communications systems, and fiber-to-the-home is
creating the need for more efficient and higher throughput optical
lasers and related transceivers. With the need to evolve from
single-channel to multi-channel optical connectivity products to
overcome physical barriers, Indium Phosphide (InP) laser volumes are
expected to grow rapidly over the next several years. In support of
these growing requirements, Source Photonics is investing in a new fab
facility.
The new facility will more than double the company's current output of
Indium Phosphide lasers and related components. It will include wafer
MOCVD, chip processing, and related component production. This new
facility will augment its existing fab in Hsinchu, Taiwan, hich has
more than doubled its output over the past three years and introduced
more advanced devices required for the current 100G and emerging 400G
markets. Initial production in the new facility will commence in Q2 2018.
"The new facility in Jintan will allow us to improve our service levels
to our customers and bring productive and leading-edge technology to
market. It will be a world-class facility, the first of its kind in
China. We are pleased to work with the city of Jintan to accelerate our
investments in this critical technology," said Doug Wright, CEO of
Source Photonics.
