!!! Press Release !!!
AIXTRON is pleased to announce that Qusion, a Princeton, New Jersey start-up specializing in monolithic integration of optical components, recently ordered the proven AIX 2400G3 MOCVD system for growth of laser materials and other modules for fiber optic systems based on Indium Phosphide materials. Due to their patented advanced technology Qusion aims to integrate into one device all of today's separate components necessary for use in 40-Gbit/s optical network systems. As already demonstrated through a number of industrial players Indium Phosphide based materials have advantages over traditional materials in both passive and active optoelectronic devices. Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, Qusion Technologies is using the most advanced manufacturing techniques and materials to create integrated optical devices with tremendous precision that will reach unrivaled manufacturing yields, driving the 40Gb/s and beyond as well as dramatically reducing integration and management costs for system developers. Qusion's first advanced optical module incorporating optical switches and modulators will be available in the beginning of 2001 with more integrated modules to follow. "The AIXTRON MOCVD reactor is essential for the manufacturing of our products," says Igor Trofimov, CTO of Qusion Technologies. "This extremely sophisticated growth system for advanced photonic materials will allow Qusion to produce our first Indium Phosphide based modules." AIXTRON has sold over 500 MOCVD systems worldwide and is represented in over 15 countries. The company provides an extensive service and support network for maintenance as well as upgrading of its systems. Among AIXTRON's list of further industrial clients are names such as Agilent/LumiLeds, Alcatel, Anritsu, AXT, Corning, Epistar, Epitronics, EPSON, Honeywell, IQE (EPI), ITT, JDS-Uniphase, Kopin, Lucent, Mitsubishi Electric, Motorola, Nortel, Osram, Samsung, Siemens, Showa Denko, Sumitomo Electric, Thomson, UEC, VPEC and numerous Japanese corporations. AIXTRON systems have also been installed in many of the world's most renowned research institutes including JPL, Sandia Nat. Lab., Fraunhofer Institute, ITRI-OES, CNRS. AIXTRON is very active in advancing MOCVD technology through collaborations and joint R&D projects with major partners worldwide.
