Company This laser manufacturer is a leading vertically integrated company with a state-of- the-art semiconductor component fab providing fiber-optic networking products. They design and manufacture analog and digital lasers using a proprietary technique, allowing them to build reliable and temperature-tolerant lasers. They support the optical communications market. Challenge The manufacturer was planning to launch a new in-house capability, e-beam evaporation for laser bar facet AR (anti-reflective) and HR (high-reflective) coating. They had defined three key performance requirements for their system: greater than 80% reflectivity, high throughput and achieving a very repeatable and consistent process. Since this was a new technology, they wanted to find a collaborative supplier
