    Kunyou Optoelectronics announced the completion of a C+ round exceeding 1 billion yuan, with investors undisclosed. The company's 12-inch wafer-level optics production line in Lingang, Shanghai, built with an investment of 2 billion yuan, is expected to be completed and come online in 2027, targeting AR, fiber optics, optical communications, automotive optics and optical computing markets. This follows its C round in January 2026 and a C+ round of nearly 400 million yuan in April.

    Why we recommend it: The article lists three funding rounds this year and progress on the 12-inch wafer-level optics line, helping understand capital and capacity deployment in wafer-level optics

    At the Start of the Year, Focuslight and Three Other International Optics Companies Launch an Acquisition Wave

    Focuslight, Synopsys, AMS Technologies and Oxford Instruments announced or completed acquisitions in early 2024, covering micro- and nano-optics, simulation software, laser systems and scientific cameras. Focuslight completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity in SMO for EUR 75.5405 million, while Synopsys plans to acquire Ansys for $35 billion, a deal still subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. AMS Technologies acquired neoLASE, and Oxford Instruments acquired First Light Imaging.

    Why we recommend it: The four deals respectively add device manufacturing, simulation software, laser system and scientific imaging capabilities, useful for comparing different paths optics companies take to expand through acquisitions.
