2560 Junction Ave, San Jose, CA, 95134, US
Overview
Oclaro, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets optical components, modules, and subsystems that generate, detect, amplify, combine, and separate light signals principally for use in fiber optics communications networks. The company offers transmission products, which include tunable and fixed wavelength laser transmitters, lithium niobate modulators, receivers, transceivers, and transponder modules. It also provides regeneration and optical routing products, such as pump laser chips, thin film filters, amplifiers, wavelength management products, and dispersion compensation management products; and advanced photonic solutions products that comprise high-powered laser diode products, thin film filter products, and VCSEL products. The company primarily offers its transmission and regeneration and optical routing products to telecommunications systems and components vendors, as well as to customers in data communications, military, and aerospace industries; and advanced photonics solutions products to life-sciences, industrial printing, and consumer electronics components companies. It sells its products and services directly, as well as through international sales representatives and resellers primarily in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. The company was formerly known as Bookham, Inc. and changed its name to Oclaro, Inc. in April 2009. Oclaro, Inc. was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.

ClariPhy develops ultra-high-speed mixed-signal and digital signal processing (MXSP) semiconductors — single-chip CMOS SoCs — for coherent optical transmission at 40G, 100G and beyond. The company targets enterprise backbone, enterprise data center and telecom optical transport markets and says its products increase reach and tolerance to impairments while reducing cost of ownership. ClariPhy was the first semiconductor vendor to deliver SoCs targeting 40G coherent networks in 40nm CMOS and plans to continue its SoC roadmap leveraging 28nm and smaller geometries to reduce power consumption. The firm emphasizes a broad library of IP, backend integration capabilities, and scalable DSP architecture to enable both standard and custom IC products for OEMs. Headquartered in Irvine, California, with offices in Los Altos, California and Cordoba, Argentina, ClariPhy is positioned to drive volume deployment of coherent transmission technology. ClariPhy develops mixed-signal processors and a new class of single-chip MXSP ICs for optical networking. Its MXSP devices are designed to significantly increase an optical network’s reach and tolerance to impairments such as chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion and fiber nonlinearity while reducing cost of ownership for OEMs and service providers. The ICs target 10, 40, and 100 Gbps networks across enterprise backbone, enterprise data center and telecom environments. The company says it will use the funding to commercialize these MXSP products. ClariPhy is based in Irvine, California and also operates offices in Los Altos, California and Cordoba, Argentina. It secured Series C financing to advance its commercialization plans.
