In 2019, it purchased Lumentum's contract manufacturer's LiNbO3 (lithium niobate) series high-speed modulator product line for 17 million US dollars.

In 2020, it acquired the remaining 48.9% equity of Zhuhai Guangchen, a semiconductor laser manufacturer, for 13.71 million yuan, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.

In January 2024, it bought 52% equity of Shanghai Bai'an for 156 million yuan, securing a controlling stake.

In June 2025, it acquired 100% equity of Jabil Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. for 17 million US dollars plus assumed transaction costs.

This acquisition of Suzhou Anjiexun marks another key strategic move by AFR Laser in the field of AI high-speed interconnection.
