"With our acquisitions and investments to commence next quarter, we are accelerating the build out of a scalable semiconductor VCSEL laser platform. II-VI Photonics delivered a robust quarter, particularly from the optical communication markets. Our record bookings this quarter indicate that we expect to end the fourth quarter strong."
