Emcore announces investment and supply agreement with Qusion
Emcore will also make an investment in Qusion as part of the company’s second round of financing, which includes leading venture firms and is still open to new investors. Last year Qusion opened a fabrication facility in North Brunswick, NJ to manufacture InP components, including its first product, a C-band electroabsorption modulator that modulates lasers up to 10 Gbit/s in metro optical networks.
“Emcore, a leader in laser and array technology, is a great complementary partner for Qusion, giving us insight, guidance and access to leading technology,” said Phil Wallace, president and CEO of Qusion Technologies.
“We expect that Qusion’s technology will enable us to extend the reach and data rate of our products,” said Emcore’s president and CEO, Reuben Richards. “Their innovations in material design, growth, integration and InP will allow us to deliver extraordinary value to our customers.”
