About DenseLight
DenseLight owns and operates a state-of-the-art optical components manufacturing facility (including a 15,000 sq ft InP wafer fab), with the ability to design, manufacture, package and test InP-based photonics devices, providing cost-effective volume solutions to telecom and datacom hardware vendors.  The Company¡¯s target customers include optical module and subsystem players.  The Company¡¯s business is focused on the emerging III-V compound semiconductor sector that serves the micro-photonic industry.

DenseLight has developed photonics technologies that for the first time enable the commercial  fabrication of integrated optical subsystems, incorporating a multitude of active and passive components onto a single indium phosphide chip monolithically. The Company's proprietary technologies empower customers with significant competitive advantages in performance, power consumption, footprint, and total cost of ownership.

Founded by four former professors from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, DenseLight began operations in May 2000, and since that time has set up a wafer growth division, a foundry processing division, a package and test division and a products and process R&D capability.  DenseLight has 60 employees, with a significant portion having advanced engineering degrees in the photonic and semiconductor fields. 

The unique team has quickly developed strong product offerings, though innovative engineering prowess in photonics designs, wafer fabrication processing, chip and module production, test and packaging know-how and operational setup.  The Company has developed and patented a significant amount of technology intellectual property (60 patents as of 15 July 2002), and together with its advanced manufacturing capabilities, forming the underlying basis to position the company as a market leader in the design, manufacturing and supply of compact, multi-functional optical components to empower the next generation of optical networks. 

DenseLight¡¯s headquarters is located in Singapore, at the heart of Asia Pacific, with excellent communication & transportation links to the major parts of the world, including the Far East, North America and Europe.  Singapore enjoys a world-class infrastructure, a highly educated engineering workforce, and a strong industrial tradition in electronics manufacturing and semiconductors. This country is also the region's manufacturing hub for the wafer fab industry. 

DenseLight Semiconductors is a company that combines a critical mix of engineering talent and cutting-edge technology, to empower the customers' quest to innovate the next-generation optical networks.
