The Mixed-Signal Optics technology at the heart of our broadband communications products is shared with our fiber optic gyros and inertial sensors to provide the aerospace and defense markets with state-of-the-art navigation systems technology. With both analog and digital circuits on multiple chips, or even a single chip, the value of Mixed-Signal device solutions is often far greater than traditional digital applications and requires a specialized expertise held by EMCORE which is unique in the optics industry. We currently have one reporting segment: Fiber Optics. This segment is comprised of three product lines: Broadband (which includes Cable TV (“CATV”) systems and components, radio frequency over glass (“RFoG”) products, satellite/microwave communications products and wireless communication products), Chip Devices and Navigation Systems. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In our opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all normal adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of such date. For a more complete understanding of our business, financial position, operating results, cash flows, risk factors and other matters, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting Topic 606 are discussed below: Revenue Recognition - To determine the proper revenue recognition, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. The vast majority of our revenues are from product sales to our customers, pursuant to purchase orders with short lead times. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost as permitted by the standard. When we perform shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g. when control transfers prior to delivery), they are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued when the related revenue is recognized. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that we would have recognized is one year or less. In certain instances, inventory is maintained by our customers at consigned locations. Revenues from consigned sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time. This is typically when the customer pulls product for use. We use a number of wholesale distributors around the world and recognize revenue when the wholesale distributor obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment. Our wholesale distributors are contractually obligated to pay us on standard commercial terms, consistent with our end-use customers. We do not sell to wholesale distributors on consignment and do not give wholesale distributors a right of return. In certain instances, prior to customers accepting product that is manufactured at one of our contract manufacturers, these customers require that they first qualify the product and manufacturing processes at our contract manufacturer (e.g. customer acceptance clause). The customers’ qualification process determines whether the product manufactured at our contract manufacturer achieves their quality, performance, and reliability standards. After a customer completes the initial qualification process, we receive approval to ship qualified product to that customer. Revenues are recognized when the customer obtains control of the qualified product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment. To a lesser extent, we enter into other types of contracts including non-recurring engineering contracts. We recognize revenue for these arrangements over time or at a point in time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. For contracts that include multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates of the relative standalone selling price that we would charge the customer for each promised product or service. Receivables, Net - Receivables, net, include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. Payments are generally due within 90 days or less of invoicing and do not include a significant financing component. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable. Receivables, net, totaled $18.4 million and $19.3 million at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Remaining Performance Obligations - Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders for long-term contracts which control has not transferred to the customer. As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $4.3 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 84% of the remaining performance obligations over the next year with the remaining amount recognized thereafter. Product Warranty Reserves - We provide our customers with warranty claims for certain products and warranty-related services are not considered a separate performance obligation. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 450, Contingencies, we make estimates of product warranty expense using historical experience rates and accrue estimated warranty expense as a cost of revenue. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations based on historical experience of known product failure rates and anticipated rates of warranty claims, use of materials to repair or replace defective products, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting the product issues. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. Disaggregation of Revenue - Revenue is classified based on the product line of business. For additional information on the disaggregated revenues by geographical region see Note 14 - Geographical Information in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue is also classified by major product category and is presented below:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
Fair Value Accounting | Fair Value Accounting ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements, establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
Classification of an asset or liability within this hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Cash consists primarily of bank deposits or highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Restricted cash represents temporarily restricted deposits held as compensating balances against short-term borrowing arrangements. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are based on Level 1 measurements. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. |

Compensation: Compensation is primarily comprised of accrued employee salaries, taxes and benefits. Severance and restructuring accruals: On December 4, 2018, the Company and Jikun Kim, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Kim agreed that he would cease service with the Company effective as of December 31, 2018 (the “Separation Date”). The Separation Agreement provided for, among other things, the continuation of his base salary for a period of two months following the Separation Date and a lump sum payment of $22,875 in lieu of any cash bonus payment under the Company’s Fiscal Year 2018 Bonus Plan, in each case subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release agreement releasing the Company from any liability or obligation to him and compliance with certain confidentiality, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants as provided in the Separation Agreement. Mr. Kim’s outstanding equity awards that remained unvested as of the Separation Date were cancelled and terminated. The Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018 related to this Separation Agreement. Our severance and restructuring-related accruals specifically relate to the separation agreement discussed above and non-cancelable obligations associated with an abandoned leased facility.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Credit Facilities | Credit Facilities On November 11, 2010, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's assets and is subject to a borrowing base formula based on the Company's eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and machinery and equipment accounts. On July 27, 2017, we entered into a Ninth Amendment of the Credit Facility which adjusted the interest rate to LIBOR plus 1.75%. On November 7, 2018, we entered into a Tenth Amendment of the Credit Facility which extended the maturity date of the facility to November 2021. The Credit Facility currently provides us with a revolving credit line of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula, that can be used for working capital requirements, letters of credit, acquisitions, and other general corporate purpose subject to a requirement, for certain specific uses, that the Company have liquidity of at least $25 million after such use. As of December 31, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding under this Credit Facility and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. Also, as of December 31, 2018, the Credit Facility had approximately $0.5 million reserved for one outstanding stand-by letter of credit and $5.5 million available for borrowing. As of January 31, 2019, there was no outstanding balance under this Credit Facility and $0.5 million reserved for one outstanding stand-by letter of credit. |

Income and Other Taxes |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income and Other Taxes | Income and Other Taxes For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded income tax (expense) benefit of approximately $(15,000) and $0.3 million, respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 is primarily comprised of state minimum tax expense. Income tax benefit for three months ended December 31, 2017 is primarily comprised of the effect of the December 22, 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) which eliminated Alternative Minimum Taxes and resulted in a refund to the Company of amounts paid in prior fiscal years, state minimum tax expense, and foreign tax expense included within continuing operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 0% and (80.2)%, respectively. The lower tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2018 is primarily due to the operating loss and state minimum tax expense. The higher beneficial tax rate for three months ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to the effect of the Tax Act, which resulted in a credit to the Company on future tax payments for past AMT amounts paid and the fiscal year 2018 operating loss. Income tax expense is comprised of estimated alternative minimum tax as prescribed by ASC 740 and foreign tax expense. The Company uses some estimates to forecast permanent differences between book and tax accounting. We have not provided for income taxes on non-U.S. subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2018 because we plan to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries and all of our non-U.S. subsidiaries historically have negative earnings and profits. All deferred tax assets have a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2018. However, on a quarterly basis, the Company will evaluate the positive and negative evidence to assess whether the more likely than not criteria, mandated by ASC 740, has been satisfied in determining whether there will be further adjustments to the valuation allowance. During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no material increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, we had approximately $0.4 million of interest and penalties accrued as tax liabilities on our balance sheet. We believe that it is reasonably possible that none of the uncertain tax position will be paid or settled within the next 12 months. Interest that is accrued on tax liabilities is recorded within interest expense on the statement of condensed consolidated statements of operations. |

Commitments and Contingencies |

Dec. 31, 2018 | |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Operating Lease Obligations: We lease certain facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Operating lease amounts exclude renewal option periods, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses on leased properties. Our facility leases typically provide for rental adjustments for increases in base rent (up to specific limits), property taxes, insurance, and general property maintenance that would be recorded as rent expense. Rent expense was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. There are no off-balance sheet arrangements other than our operating leases. Asset Retirement Obligation: We have known conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (“AROs”) such as certain asset decommissioning and restoration of rented facilities to be performed in the future. Our ARO includes assumptions related to renewal option periods for those facilities where we expect to extend lease terms. The Company recognizes its estimate of the fair value of its ARO in the period incurred in long-term liabilities. The fair value of the ARO is also capitalized as property, plant and equipment. In future periods, the ARO is accreted for the change in its present value and capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the related assets. If the fair value of the estimated ARO changes, an adjustment will be recorded to both the ARO and the asset retirement capitalized cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, changes in estimated retirement costs, and changes in the estimated timing of settling the ARO. The fair value of our ARO was estimated by discounting projected cash flows over the estimated life of the related assets using credit adjusted risk-free rates which ranged from 1.20% to 4.20%. There was no ARO settled during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Accretion expense of $14,000 and $17,000 was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. EMCORE leases its primary facility in Alhambra, California covering six buildings where manufacturing, research and development, and general and administrative work is performed. In September 2017, a new lease for four of the six buildings was signed, which was effective on October 1, 2017. The new lease extends the terms of the lease for three years plus a three year option to extend the lease through September 2023. In connection with the lease agreement, the Company has recorded an ARO liability at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 of $1.8 million. Leases related to the other two buildings expired in 2011, and these buildings are being occupied on a month-to-month basis. The Company’s ARO consists of legal requirements to return the existing leased facilities to their original state and certain environmental work to be performed due to the presence of a manufacturing fabrication operation and significant changes to the facilities over the past thirty years. In May 2016 (and retroactively effective on February 1, 2016) the Company entered into a five year lease agreement for facilities in Beijing, China where some manufacturing work is to be performed. In connection with the lease agreement, the Company has recorded an ARO liability in the amount of $0.1 million at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. Indemnifications: We have agreed to indemnify certain customers against claims of infringement of intellectual property rights of others in our sales contracts with these customers. Historically, we have not paid any claims under these indemnification obligations. Legal Proceedings: We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and litigation, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of these matters is currently not determinable and we are unable to estimate a range of loss, should a loss occur, from these proceedings. The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties and the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Professional legal fees are expensed when incurred. We accrue for contingent losses when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Should we fail to prevail in any legal matter or should several legal matters be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, then the financial results of that particular reporting period could be materially affected. a) Intellectual Property Lawsuits We protect our proprietary technology by applying for patents where appropriate and, in other cases, by preserving the technology, related know-how and information as trade secrets. The success and competitive position of our product lines are impacted by our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our research and development efforts. We have, from time to time, exchanged correspondence with third parties regarding the assertion of patent or other intellectual property rights in connection with certain of our products and processes. b) Phoenix Navigation Components, LLC Legal Proceedings On June 12, 2018, Phoenix Navigation Components, LLC (“Phoenix”) commenced an arbitration against EMCORE with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in New York. On August 31, 2018, Phoenix filed a First Amended Demand for Arbitration, asserting the following claims: breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, misappropriation of trade secrets (under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1836, and New York law), conversion, unjust enrichment, correction of inventorship relating to U.S. Patent No. 8,773,665, and declaratory relief, relating to EMCORE’s termination of certain agreements entered into between EMCORE and Phoenix related to the purported license of certain intellectual property related to fiber optic gyroscope technology and disputed royalty payments related thereto. On September 14, 2018, EMCORE filed an Answering Statement and Counterclaim, denying all of Phoenix’s claims and asserting counterclaims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and declaratory relief. An arbitration hearing on all claims with the exception of the patent claims was held on January 8 through 12, 2019, and closing arguments are currently scheduled for March 29, 2019. A second arbitration hearing on the patent claims has been set for July 29, 2019. We believe that the claims asserted by Phoenix are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against them. On June 21, 2018, Phoenix Navigation Components, LLC commenced a special proceeding against EMCORE in the New York Supreme Court, Commercial Division, Index No. 653128/2018. As part of the special proceeding, Phoenix filed an application for a preliminary injunction in aid of arbitration pursuant to CLPR 7502(c), in connection with the AAA arbitration proceeding in New York. On August 6, 2018, Phoenix’s application was resolved pursuant to a stipulation between EMCORE and Phoenix. This special proceeding remains open pending resolution of the AAA arbitration. On September 18, 2018, EMCORE filed a complaint against Phoenix in the United States District Court for the Central District of California seeking a declaratory judgment with respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,773,665. On October 19, 2018, Phoenix filed a Motion to Stay Pending Arbitration or to Dismiss the Complaint. On December 7, 2018, the United States District Court for the Central District of California issued an order granting Phoenix's motion to dismiss this action. |

Equity | Equity Equity Plans We provide long-term incentives to eligible officers, directors, and employees in the form of equity-based awards. We maintain three equity incentive compensation plans, collectively described below as our “Equity Plans”:
We issue new shares of common stock to satisfy awards issued under our Equity Plans. Stock Options Most of our stock options vest and become exercisable over a four to five year period and have a contractual life of 10 years. Certain stock options awarded are intended to qualify as incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Equity Plans for the three months ended December 31, 2018:
(*) Intrinsic value for stock options represents the “in-the-money” portion or the positive variance between a stock option's exercise price and the underlying stock price. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the intrinsic value of options exercised was $13,000. As of December 31, 2018, there was approximately $44,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted under the Equity Plans which is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average life of 1.8 years. Valuation Assumptions There were no stock option grants for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Time-Based Restricted Stock Time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) granted to employees under the 2010 Plan and 2012 Plan typically vest over 3 to 4 years and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the lapse of the restrictions. RSUs are not considered issued or outstanding common stock until they vest. RSAs are considered issued and outstanding on the grant date and are subject to forfeiture if specified vesting conditions are not satisfied. The following table summarizes the activity related to RSUs and RSAs subject to time-based vesting requirements for the three months ended December 31, 2018:
As of December 31, 2018, there was approximately $4.1 million of remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with RSUs, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining service period of approximately 2.7 years. The 0.8 million outstanding non-vested and expected to vest RSUs have an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $3.4 million and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.6 years. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the intrinsic value of RSUs vested was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted was $6.73 per share. As of December 31, 2018, there was approximately $39,000 of remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with RSAs, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining service period of approximately 1.8 years. Performance Stock Performance based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and performance based shares of restricted stock (“PRSAs”) granted to employees under the 2012 Plan typically vest over 1 to 3 years and are subject to forfeiture in whole, if employment terminates, or in whole or in part, if specified vesting conditions are not satisfied, in each case prior to vesting. PSUs are not considered issued or outstanding common stock until they vest. PRSAs are considered issued and outstanding on the grant date (at 200% of the target number of shares) and are subject to forfeiture if specified vesting conditions are not satisfied. PSUs and PRSAs that are granted to our executive officers and key employees are provided as long-term incentive compensation that is based on relative total shareholder return, which measures our performance against that of our competitors. The following table summarizes the activity related to PSUs and PRSAs for the three months ended December 31, 2018:
As of December 31, 2018, there was approximately $1.2 million of remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with PSUs, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining service period of approximately 1.7 years. The 0.2 million outstanding non-vested and expected to vest PSUs have an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $1.0 million and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.7 years. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the intrinsic value of PSUs vested was approximately $0.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the weighted average grant date fair value of PSUs granted was $7.62. As of December 31, 2018, there was approximately $0.2 million of remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with PRSAs, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining service period of approximately 0.8 years. Stock-based compensation The effect of recording stock-based compensation expense was as follows:
Stock-based compensation within selling, general and administrative expense was lower for the three months ended December 31, 2018 due to the reversal of previously recognized expense associated with the forfeiture of unvested RSUs and PSUs of our former CFO Jikun Kim. 401(k) Plan We have a savings plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this savings plan, participating employees may defer a portion of their pretax earnings, up to the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. Since June 2015, all employer contributions are made in cash. Our matching contribution in cash for the each of the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $0.1 million. Loss Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:
For diluted loss per share, the denominator includes all outstanding common shares and all potential dilutive common shares to be issued. The anti-dilutive stock options and unvested stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 due to the Company incurring a net loss for the period. Employee Stock Purchase Plan We maintain an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that provides employees an opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP is a 6-month duration plan with new participation periods beginning on approximately February 25 and August 26 of each year. The purchase price is set at 85% of the average high and low market price of our common stock on either the first or last trading day of the participation period, whichever is lower, and annual contributions are limited to the lower of 10% of an employee's compensation or $25,000. Future Issuances As of December 31, 2018, we had common stock reserved for the following future issuances:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) |
3 Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dec. 31, 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue from Contract with Customer | Revenue Recognition - To determine the proper revenue recognition, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. The vast majority of our revenues are from product sales to our customers, pursuant to purchase orders with short lead times. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost as permitted by the standard. When we perform shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g. when control transfers prior to delivery), they are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued when the related revenue is recognized. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that we would have recognized is one year or less. In certain instances, inventory is maintained by our customers at consigned locations. Revenues from consigned sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time. This is typically when the customer pulls product for use. We use a number of wholesale distributors around the world and recognize revenue when the wholesale distributor obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment. Our wholesale distributors are contractually obligated to pay us on standard commercial terms, consistent with our end-use customers. We do not sell to wholesale distributors on consignment and do not give wholesale distributors a right of return. In certain instances, prior to customers accepting product that is manufactured at one of our contract manufacturers, these customers require that they first qualify the product and manufacturing processes at our contract manufacturer (e.g. customer acceptance clause). The customers’ qualification process determines whether the product manufactured at our contract manufacturer achieves their quality, performance, and reliability standards. After a customer completes the initial qualification process, we receive approval to ship qualified product to that customer. Revenues are recognized when the customer obtains control of the qualified product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment. To a lesser extent, we enter into other types of contracts including non-recurring engineering contracts. We recognize revenue for these arrangements over time or at a point in time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. For contracts that include multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates of the relative standalone selling price that we would charge the customer for each promised product or service. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Receivables, Policy | Receivables, Net - Receivables, net, include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. Payments are generally due within 90 days or less of invoicing and do not include a significant financing component. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the age of receivables and a specific identification of receivables considered at risk of collection. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Standard Product Warranty, Policy | Product Warranty Reserves - We provide our customers with warranty claims for certain products and warranty-related services are not considered a separate performance obligation. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 450, Contingencies, we make estimates of product warranty expense using historical experience rates and accrue estimated warranty expense as a cost of revenue. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations based on historical experience of known product failure rates and anticipated rates of warranty claims, use of materials to repair or replace defective products, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting the product issues. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities or Restructurings, Policy | Expense related to severance and restructuring accruals is included in selling, general, and administrative expense on our statements of operations and comprehensive income. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy | ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements, establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
Classification of an asset or liability within this hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Legal Costs, Policy | Professional legal fees are expensed when incurred. We accrue for contingent losses when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. |
||||||||||||||||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy |
Effective October 1, 2018, we adopted the requirements of Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. There was no significant cumulative impact to our accumulated deficit upon adoption.
(b) Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective
As currently issued, entities are required to use a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. There are additional optional practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

Asset Retirement Obligation [Policy Text Block] | Asset Retirement Obligation: We have known conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (“AROs”) such as certain asset decommissioning and restoration of rented facilities to be performed in the future. Our ARO includes assumptions related to renewal option periods for those facilities where we expect to extend lease terms. The Company recognizes its estimate of the fair value of its ARO in the period incurred in long-term liabilities. The fair value of the ARO is also capitalized as property, plant and equipment. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Restricted cash represents temporarily restricted deposits held as compensating balances against short-term borrowing arrangements. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash consists primarily of bank deposits or highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. |
