At Lightwave Microsystems Corporation, we weave light into the communications networks of the future. We design and manufacture planar lightwave circuits and integrated devices for advanced optical communication systems. All at full-production volumes. At Lightwave Microsystems, to weave light is to achieve a quantum leap in optical communications. Traditionally, DWDM systems have been built by assembling various discrete components.
Integration is the key.
Traditional approaches to DWDM system design employ discrete components, and their performance degrades as channels are added. In contrast, LightWeaver components combine multiple channels in a single device, with no compromise in performance. The LightWeaver Platform Based on design and manufacturing processes perfected by the semiconductor industry, Lightwave's proprietary LightWeaver production platform represents a quantum leap in optical communications technology. Reliability-Tested from Design to Development and Beyond To ensure reliability in the field, Lightwave's AWGs are thoroughly and continually tested. Starting early in the development process, we subject Lightwave products to accelerated stress testing for both environmental and mechanical integrity.
