Adding considerably to the current backend capacity, the extensive capabilities offered by the Eblana Photonics Taiwan facility will allow the continued expansion of Eblana Photonics into the high volume Telecommunications market, as well as supporting specialised markets including long-wavelength laser-based Gas Sensing and LIDAR, for which Eblana continues to drive cost-disruptive products.

Eblana Photonics Ltd design, fabricate, test and package, compound semiconductor emitters, primarily Distributed Feedback (DFB), Fabrey-Perot (FP) and Superluminescent Diodes (SLD), in the NIR & MIR wavelength range for high-volume and specialty markets, including Industrial Gas Sensing, LIDAR and Telecommunications.

Eblana CEO Jim Somers said “Eblana has long been recognised as a supplier of premium laser diode components to the Telecoms and Industrial laser markets in Taiwan and China. Having this facility allows us to operate physically closer to our customer base and become even more responsive to customer demands for high performance laser components in a range of package options”.
