IQE extends multi-year strategic supply agreement with Lumentum
Epiwafer and substrate maker IQE plc of Cardiff, Wales, UK has signed a multi-year extension to its strategic agreement with Lumentum Holdings Inc of San Jose, CA, USA (which designs and makes photonics products for optical networks and lasers for industrial and consumer markets) for the supply of epiwafers supporting advanced sensing technologies.
The extended agreement will build on the long-standing relationship between the two companies, where IQE's vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) expertise has advanced 3D sensing technologies across Lumentum’s broad photonics product portfolio. These technologies are key enablers in consumer, automotive light detection & ranging (LiDAR) and in-cabin sensing applications.
“Together we have achieved significant innovation in sensing technologies, from development through to mass production,” notes IQE’s CEO Jutta Meier. “We are excited to build on our success moving forward, as we expand advanced sensing into a new generation of consumer and automotive products.”
