Finisar places repeat order for Aixtron reactor
The AIX 2800G4-TM automated reactor will be used in the production of indium phosphide lasers and detectors
Aixtron has taken a new MOCVD system order from US optical communications supplier, Finisar, for an AIX 2800G4-TM automated reactor.
The reactor is dedicated to the growth of indium phosphide materials for lasers and detectors.
The new order was placed after the first AIX 2800G4-TM system had been successfully installed and qualified at Finisar’s facility in Allen, Texas.
As Aixtron says, its local support team will install and commission the new reactor in a state-of-the-art clean-room at Finisar's California plant,targeting later this year.
“The AIX 2800G4-TM reactor provides the best means to create high-performance optical device products that fulfil the necessary requirements of our customers,” says Charles Roxlo, vice president and general manager of Active Devices for Finisar. “The backing of the excellent AIXTRON local support team gives us much confidence and security.”
Bernd Schulte, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Aixtron added: “The AIX 2800G4-TM reactor has a strong reputation within the industry for performance, ergonomics and efficiency, all features that effectively meet the challenges of opto device production.”
