CyOptics was a semiconductor company specializing in the design and manufacture of optical components and modules for high-speed communications networks. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, the company focused on developing indium phosphide-based optical chips and components for fiber optic networks. The company’s product portfolio included lasers, photodetectors, optical subassemblies, and integrated optical components used in telecommunications, data communications, and fiber-to-the-home applications. CyOptics was particularly known for its expertise in indium phosphide semiconductor technology, which enabled the production of high-performance optical devices. In April 2013, CyOptics was acquired by Avago Technologies (now Broadcom Inc.) for approximately $400 million in cash. The acquisition strengthened Avago’s fiber optics portfolio and expanded its market presence in the optical components sector. Prior to the acquisition, CyOptics had established itself as a significant player in the optical communications industry, with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Malaysia. During its independent operation, CyOptics served major telecommunications equipment manufacturers and network providers worldwide. The company’s technology contributions helped advance the development of high-speed optical networks and data center interconnects.
