II-VI and Lite-On Technology partner to mass produce lidar components
S
emiconductor laser company II-VI is partnering with Lite-
On Technology, a supplier of optoelectronic components, in the volume manufacturing and commercialisation of packaged semiconductor lasers for mass- market lidar. The rapid proliferation of lidar in automotive, commercial and industrial applications is driving the demand for low-cost semiconductor laser devices that can be manufactured in very high volumes. II-VI and Lite-On will combine respective high-volume manufacturing platforms for semiconductor lasers and optoelectronic packaging to jointly commercialise a broad portfolio of laser solutions spanning from near-infrared (NIR) to shortwave infrared (SWIR), with the first product to launch in mid-2020. ‘By leveraging our deep experience in low-cost packaging and high-volume manufacturing, as well as our sales channels in automotive, commercial, and industrial markets, we will be able to meet
IN BRIEF
EPIC has announced that John D’Ambrosia, veteran task force chair of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group, is the new EPIC advisor. This new role will see him aiding EPIC’s mission to support the photonics ecosystem, and act as liaison between EPIC and the Ethernet standards development community.
A new facility for research, development and manufacturing of laser technology has been established at the Hübner Photonics headquarters in Kassel. The facilities will allow further development and manufacturing of its C-Wave product line.
Luxinar, previously Rofin-Sinar UK, has opened a new regional office near Hamburg, Germany, to provide further local customer support.

the window of opportunity for high-volume lidar applications,’ said Sander Su, associate vice president, Lite-On Technology. ‘Lite-On leverages its global
manufacturing footprint and sales channels to ship billions
of light-emitting diodes each year in automotive and consumer electronics, making them an ideal partner for II-VI,’ said Dr Karlheinz Gulden, the firm’s vice president, laser devices and systems business
unit. ‘We look forward to developing the most vertically integrated lidar laser sources on the market, driving our competitive leadership, both in terms of performance and value.’
