Source: Tecstar, Inc.
Tecstar, Inc.pt to meet growing demand for high-brightness light-emitting diodes (LEDs), <%=company%> (Newport Beach, CA) has formed an optoelectronics product group. The company's gallium arsenide (GaAs) MOCVD foundry at its Applied Solar Division (ASD) will now be available to support manufacturers of high and ultra-high brightness LED devices and lamps. Ellen Linder will head product development.
While solar power will remain a core product focus for Tecstar, the company will carry over epitaxial growth and processing methods to the LED product line. In addition, manufacturing two product lines using the same facilities will spread fixed overhead costs.
Tecstar products include critical avionics equipment for airborne server applications, maintenance computers, and airborne data loaders; motion control equipment for both satellites and aircraft, and advanced technology in spacecraft solar panels and arrays.
