silicon‑photonics commercialization has triggered a surge in packaging and test
equipment demand, leaving some critical machines and precision components
undersupplied. International buyers are placing successive orders, and the
pull‑through is spreading from equipment into precision drive systems and
positioning platforms. Multiple related equipment suppliers report full capacity
and are accelerating production to meet orders.
