NeoPhotonics develops, manufactures, and sells a wide range of optical components designed for high-speed communication networks. The company offers both active and passive products that cater to various market segments, including fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), datacom, storage area networks, and metro and long-haul networks. Its portfolio includes transceivers compliant with industry standards, available in multiple configurations such as GBIC, SFF, and SFP, supporting data rates from 155 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Key products encompass integrated splitters, BiDi and TriPlexer transceivers for FTTH, as well as advanced optical modules and subsystems crucial for metro and long-haul dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. Additionally, NeoPhotonics manufactures various other components, including athermal array waveguide gratings, variable optical attenuators, and dynamic channel equalizers, enhancing the performance and efficiency of optical communication systems.
Santur Corporation, founded in November 2000, specializes in the commercialization of laser array and packaging technologies tailored for the telecommunications industry. The company develops a range of opto-electronic products, including tunable lasers, which are essential for generating, routing, and amplifying signals within optical networks. As the telecommunications sector evolves from traditional point-to-point links to more dynamic mesh and reconfigurable wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks, Santur's innovations in tunability provide vital flexibility and cost efficiencies for modern communication systems.
Lightconnect
Acquisition in 2006
Lightconnect develops optical networking components based on technology invented by David Bloom, one of the company's founders, called diffractive MEMS. LIGHTCONNECT's products operate in the physical optics mode rather than the geometrics optics mode. Beam redirection results from diffraction rather than specular reflection. Consequently, motion, or displacement of the optical surface, is much smaller. Lightconnect claims that this technology enables fabrication of devices that are inherently much faster, more reliable, much smaller and much less susceptible to external environmental inputs.
Photon Technology
Acquisition in 2004
Photon Technology largest manufacturer of "active" optical components for broadband access and backbone optical networks.
Lightwave Microsystems Corporation
Acquisition in 2003
Lightwave Microsystems engages in the design, customization, and manufacture of a range of passive and active waveguide components and integrated devices.
