JDSU Buys QuantaSol IP
JDSU, an optical networking and test and
measurement products provider, has acquired product design, patented intellectual
property and other assets from QuantaSol, a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) technology
provider based in Kingston upon Thames, UK. Financial terms of the sale were not
disclosed. JDSU said that it will use QuantaSol’s multiple quantum well (MQW)
technology for its CPV cell product platform. MQW technology allows more light to
be converted to electrical power by raising the efficiency of CPV cells. JDSU plans
to transfer QuantaSol’s assets to its Milpitas, Calif., headquarters over
the next six months.
