We design, manufacture and market optical components, modules and subsystems
that generate, detect, amplify, combine and separate light signals principally
for use in high-performance fiber optics communications networks. Due to its
advantages of higher capacity and transmission speed, optical transmission has
become the predominant technology for large-scale communications networks.
Innovation at the component level has been a primary enabler of optical
networking, facilitating increased transmission capacity, improving signal
quality and lowering cost. Optical communications equipment vendors initially
developed and manufactured their own optical components. For a variety of
industry-related reasons, the majority of optical equipment vendors have sold,
eliminated or outsourced their internal component capabilities and now rely on
third-party sources for their optical component needs.
