KAWASAKI, JAPAN, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- QD Laser, Inc., a Japanese company established in 2006 as a spin-off from Fujitsu Laboratories, placed an order for Riber's MBE6000 multi 3'', 4'', 6'', 200 mm production system to enhance its production and R&D capabilities for quantum dot epitaxial wafers. As demand accelerates in emerging applications—particularly AI data centers and automotive sensing—development programs for new products are expanding rapidly. This trend has created a growing need for a manufacturing platform capable of supporting both R&D activities and high volume production simultaneously.
According to Kiyoshi Okubo, President and CEO of QD Laser, Inc., "We have been supplying high quality quantum dot epitaxial wafers grown using Riber's MBE systems for many years, establishing a strong track record in advanced epitaxial technology. To secure sufficient headroom for future orders and further enhance process stability, expanding our manufacturing and R&D capabilities has become essential. With continuous support from Riber's expertise and the addition of the MBE6000 to our manufacturing infrastructure, we will strengthen supply stability, capture new business opportunities in high growth markets, and accelerate the development of next generation products. This strategic enhancement of our manufacturing foundation will reinforce the competitiveness of our business and contribute to sustainable, long‑term value creation for the company."
"We are very pleased to embark on this new project with QD laser. QD laser is a long-standing and strategic customer of RIBER, with our first collaboration dating back to 2008 with the delivery of an MBE 49 production system. This new project reflects QD Laser's renewed confidence in RIBER's technology and our ability to support the long-term industrial development of next-generation photonic technologies," comments Annie Geoffroy CEO of Riber.
The system is scheduled for delivery in 2026.
