PGT, CyOptics to Merge

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MILAN, Italy, and LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., July 25, 2008 -- Pirelli Group's photonics company, PGT Photonics, will merge with privately held optical components company CyOptics, the companies announced yesterday. As part of the deal, Italian industrial group Pirelli will receive a 30 percent stake in the new company, which is expected to have annual revenues of about $80 million. Pirelli will also contribute $20 million in cash to the new business. The companies said the agreement combines the complementary technologies of Lehigh Valley-based CyOptics' indium phosphide-based lasers and detectors with PGT's silicon-based photonics to create...Read full article

    indium phosphide
    Indium phosphide (InP) is a compound semiconductor material composed of indium (In) and phosphorus (P). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors, where elements from groups III and V of the periodic table combine to form a variety of important semiconductor materials. Indium phosphide is known for its favorable electronic and optical properties, making it widely used in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Key features and properties of indium phosphide include: Bandgap: Indium...
    optoelectronic
    Pertaining to a device that responds to optical power, emits or modifies optical radiation, or utilizes optical radiation for its internal operation. Any device that functions as an electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducer. Electro-optic often is used erroneously as a synonym.
    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...
