We are a worldwide leader in optical technology. We design and manufacture products for fiberoptic communications, as well as for markets where our core optics technologies provide innovative solutions for industrial, commercial and consumer applications. Our fiberoptic components and modules are deployed by system manufacturers for the telecommunications, data communications and cable television industries. We also offer products through original equipment manufacturers for display, security, medical/environmental instrumentation, decorative, aerospace and defense applications. Fiberoptic communications systems enable transmission of video, audio and text data over high-capacity fiberoptic cables. Although ultimately highly complex, a fiberoptic communications system performs three basic functions common to all communications systems: transmitting, routing (switching) and receiving information, in this case information encoded on light signals. Our fiberoptic components, modules and subsystems, alone and in combinations, are the building blocks for these systems. These products include transmitters, receivers, amplifiers, dispersion compensators, multiplexers and demultiplexers, add/drop modules, switches, optical performance monitors and couplers, splitters and circulators. Complementing our components, modules and subsystem products, our test and measurement equipment is used in manufacturing, research and development, system development and network maintenance environments for measuring performance of optical components. We sell our communications products to the world's leading and emerging telecommunications, data communications and cable television systems providers worldwide. In addition to fiberoptic communications, we apply our optical technologies for use in the display, security, medical/environmental, instrumentation, and aerospace and defense markets. Products of these businesses rely on optical technologies to control, enhance and modify the behavior of light utilizing its reflection, absorption and transmission properties to achieve specific effects such as high reflectivity, anti-glare and spectral filtering. Specific product applications include computer monitors and flat panel displays, projection systems, photocopiers, facsimile machines, scanners, security products and decorative surface treatments. We also supply laser products for biotechnology, graphic arts and imaging, semiconductor processing, materials processing, and a variety of other laser-based applications. As further discussed in "Operating Segments and Products," we group our communications and non-communications products into two principal segments which we call the Communications Products Group and the Thin Film Products Group.
