IPG Photonics Orders Veeco MBE Systems

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Veeco Instruments Inc. announced today it has received two orders for its GEN200 molecular beam epitaxy system from IPG Photonics Corp. of Oxford, Mass., to expand its production of high-quality gallium arsenide-based lasers. IPG bought its first Veeco GEN200 last year. The system provides 4X4" epiwafer growth of devices such as pump lasers, vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers and heterojunction bipolar transistors. IPG makes fiber lasers and amplifiers for applications in the materials processing, communications, medical, scientific and research markets. Veeco, based in Woodbury, N.Y., is a provider of metrology products used to measure at the nanoscale and process equipment tools to help create nanoscale devices.

Glossary
gallium arsenide
Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a compound semiconductor material composed of gallium (Ga) and arsenic (As). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors and has a zincblende crystal structure. GaAs is widely used in various electronic and optoelectronic devices due to its unique properties. Direct bandgap: GaAs has a direct bandgap, which allows for efficient absorption and emission of photons. This property makes it suitable for optoelectronic applications such as light-emitting diodes...
metrology
Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
