Designer and manufacturer of dynamic MEMS-based fiber optic components

NeoPhotonics
About the Company
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.
