California. LightWorks manufactures precision optical systems and components, including visible, infrared, and laser based systems and subassemblies addressing the Defence, Aerospace, Industrial and Life Science markets.
For the 12 months ended September 30th, 2012, LightWorks generated approximately $22 million in revenues.
For the quarter ending December 31st, 2012 and for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 2013, IIVI does not expect this purchase to have a material impact on its previously issued guidance for revenues and earnings per share. LightWorks will be included in the company’s Military & Materials segment for financial reporting purposes.
Francis J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer of IIVI Incorporated, says, “We are excited about the acquisition of LightWorks and anticipate a unique partnership with our Exotic Electro Optics (EEO) business unit which is also based in California. LightWorks is a premier supplier of a wide array of advanced optical systems currently deployed across a host of critical defence, aerospace, and commercial applications, and will further strengthen our relationships with customers by broadening our portfolio and expanding our product offering. We are eager to work cooperatively with the talented team of employees from LightWorks and welcome them to IIVI.
Daniel Barber, president of LightWorks, comments, “LightWorks’ expertise in the engineering design and manufacturing of complete optical subsystems is a logical market extension for EEO. The optical system designs we create involve engineering and manufacturing expertise similar to those possessed by EEO, and will extend the range of solutions the combined companies offer to the marketplace.”
“Not only do our companies offer complementary technology and a shared vision, we both have cultures committed to customer closeness, technical excellence and high levels of employee involvement and participation. We believe that together we can provide substantial value to our current customers as well as to the growing commercial markets for precision optical assemblies,” adds Barber.
US company orders Riber MBE system
The reactor will be used for the developing II-VI semiconductors
Reactor manufacturer Riber has sold an MBE 412 system to a leading company in IR imaging sensors materials for ground and space based astronomy.
Benefiting from a very high performance level, the MBE412 system is designed for the development of II-VI semiconductors. The system was selected as this platform is optimised for top performances when complex semiconductor heterostructures layers are needed.
The system 412 order is a repeat busiess and will enable Riber’s customer to further increase its activities on new IR sensor material and structures.
TriQuint’s GaAs amplifiers are oh so quiet
The gallium arsenide based devices are suited for use as first-stage LNAs in base station receivers, tower-mounted amplifiers and repeaters
TriQuint Semiconductor has released two new dual matched low noise amplifiers that are ideally suited for balanced high performance RF design configurations.
These integrated LNAs are highly linear and offer very low noise figures, high output and include automatic shut-down capability for use in Time Division Duplex (TDD) and Frequency-Domain Duplex (FDD) applications. They are suited for use as first-stage LNAs in base station receivers, tower- mounted amplifiers and repeaters.
