Finisar Corporation has ordered an AIXTRON AIX 2800G4-TM MOCVD system. The company intends to apply this tool to the design and manufacture of tunable lasers, high speed modulators, and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in its Sweden facility.

“We need a MOCVD system to support our plans for capacity expansion and we naturally turned to AIXTRON,” said Patrik Evaldsson, vice president and general manager, Finisar Sweden. “In our selection, it was important that the system should also support our focus on developing new, more highly integrated indium phosphide products.”
