Schott invests in VCSELs and restructures

摘要

Schott is increasing its stake in the university spin-off U.L.M. Photonics GmbH (Ulm, Germany) to 52 percent, thereby acquiring majority ownership. After two years in operation, U.L.M. Photonics, has built and developed one of the most respected research, design and manufacturing facilities for Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) and thus become a technology leader in this sector. VCSEL are expected to continue to replace traditional lasers in applications such as medical devices, printing, sensors, and data communications.
