Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

          On August 14, 2000, II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation
(the "Registrant"), completed its previously announced exchange offer (the
"Offer") for all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the "Shares"), of Laser Power Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Laser
Power"), at a price per Share of .052 shares of common stock, no par value
("II-VI Shares"), of the Registrant and $3.08 net to the seller in cash.  The
acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
June 28, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement") by an among the Registrant, Laser Power
and the Registrant's wholly owned subsidiary, II-VI Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser").

          The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Standard time, on Friday,
August 11, 2000.  In the Offer, the Purchaser purchased 7,249,420 Shares, which
constituted approximately 74.7% of the outstanding Shares not already owned by
the Registrant.  The aggregate purchase price for the Shares pursuant to the
Offer was approximately $22,300,000 in cash and 369,338 II-VI Shares.

          As soon as practicable, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will merge with
and into Laser Power (the "Merger").  At the effective time of the Merger, each
Laser Power Share held in the treasury of Laser Power or owned by II-VI or
Purchaser will be canceled and retired, and every other outstanding Laser Power
Share will be converted into the right to receive the same consideration paid in
the Offer.

          Laser Power designs, manufactures and markets high performance optics

thin-film design and coating services to industrial and military customers.

          The Registrant entered into a credit agreement dated as of August 14,
2000, with PNC Bank, National Association, and certain other lenders.  Under the
terms of the credit agreement, the lenders will provide credit facilities in the
aggregate principal amount of $45,000,000 to the Registrant in order to fund the
acquisition of Laser Power as provided for in the merger agreement, refinance
existing indebtedness of the Registrant and Laser Power, pay transaction fees
and expenses related to the offer, the merger and the credit facilities and for
general corporate purposes before and after the merger.  The credit agreement

subsidiaries.

The Registrant exercised its election pursuant to the credit agreement and
converted the full amount borrowed to a term loan.  In addition, on August 14,
2000 the Registrant converted borrowings of $2,750,000 under its previous line
