Finisar Corporation is a manufacturer of optical communication components and subsystems. The company was founded in April 1987 by Frank Levinson and Jerry Rawls in Menlo Park, California.[3][4] In November 1999, it went public via an initial public offering.[3] In 2008 Finisar merged with Optium Corporation.[5] In September 2019, Finisar was acquired by II-VI Incorporated for US$3.2 billion.[6][7]

Finisar's products include optical transceivers, optical engines, active optical cables, optical components, optical instrumentation, ROADM & wavelength management, optical amplifiers, and RF-over-Fiber.[2] Their products enable high-speed voice, video, and data communications for networking, storage, wireless, and cable TV applications.[2]

Partnerships

Apple Inc. announced a new partnership with Finisar in December 2017.[8] The planned investment of $390 million will support Finisar's increase production of its R&D spending and high-volume production of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers that power some of Apple's features such as the Face ID.[9] The plant, supporting more than 500 jobs, is located in Sherman, Texas.[9][10]
