Descrição Intense is far from lackadaisical about its work. The company designs and manufactures optoelectronic semiconductors for use in a variety of applications, including military hardware, commercial printing equipment, and telecommunications gear. Intense uses a fabrication technique called quantum well intermixing to combine various optical functions onto a single chip. The company, which was founded in 2000, also offers laser arrays. It fabricates its chips from compound materials, such as gallium arsenide and indium phosphide. The Intense product development team is available for custom design projects in electronics, lasers, optics, and packaging.
