AIXTRON SE has announced a new order for an MOCVD reactor from Finisar Corporation, USA, a company engaged in the manufacture of fiber optic subsystems and components for communication applications.

The Sunnyvale, CA based company placed the order for one AIX 2800G4-R MOCVD system. Following delivery in the second quarter of 2011, it will be used for the production of VCSEL devices. The local AIXTRON support team will commission the new reactor by working with Finisar engineers in their Allen, TX facility.

Mr. Curt Barratt, General Manager of Finisar Allen, comments, “Finisar is seeing great demand for its VCSEL products. We have just completed an exhaustive search for the equipment set that will not only fulfill our current product demand, but also manufacture our next generation products. The AIX 2800 G4-R system meets these requirements and will be a valuable addition to our manufacturing capabilities.”

With over 20 years of experience, Finisar is a global technology leader in optical communications subsystems and components that enable high-speed voice, video and data communications for networking, storage, wireless, and cable TV applications.
