DiCon Fiberoptics Inc.
Founded in 1986 by two University of California, Berkeley academians, DiCon Fiberoptics Inc. seeks to investigate and pioneer new and exciting applications for emerging photonic technologies. This exploratory and trail blazing foundation has laid the groundwork for over 25 years of steady growth. Today, DiCon Fiberoptics Inc. continues to flourish with two business divisions one in telecommunication under Dicon Fiberoptics and the other in Lighting under DiCon Lighting, each of which support distinct, patented technology platforms for specific market segments.
DiCon Fiberoptics was initially established to support and meet a growing need for micro-optics designs for fiber optics. As the company evolved, it moved from WDM components and film filter coatings to optical switches powered by patented MEMS technology, and it continues to develop key platforms and push innovation to meet the rapidly changing needs of the optical networking industry. Today, DiCon Fiberoptics is an industry leader and innovator in micro–electromechanical systems (MEMS), thin optical coatings, micro–optic design, advanced packaging, and other new and evolving technologies with a focus on defense operations and technical communications industries.
In order to continue to drive its passion and adapt to advances in photonics technology, DiCon Fiberoptics invested aggressively in the exploration of different and unique applications for light and photons in the emerging solid-state lighting industry under DiCon Lighting. Ahead of the curve, DiCon Lighting foresaw the advantages of LED driven point-source lights and was the first to successfully develop proprietary Dense Matrix LED™ technology, a small, singular array that compacts the power of several LEDs under a single lens. Today, DiCon Lighting develops lighting fixtures for both professional and mass consumer audiences and has established brands in a number of industries including home lighting, horticultural and aquarium lighting, architectural and entertainment lighting, and microscopy lighting.
