Company History

In 2005 the company advanced beyond traditional semiconductor lasers, committing itself aggressively to the very new high-tech field of QCLs. In 2008, AdTech spun out its photodiode division into D-Tech, in order to better focus its resources on the development of the emerging QC technology. At its premises in City of Industry, CA AdTech has all the necessary in-house equipment and know-how to entirely design, engineer and manufacture semiconductor laser devices. AdTech Optics is a privately owned and funded corporation employing about 35 people. In 2015, AdTech received ISO 9001:2008 certification.
