 PROFILE
And you thought splitting hairs was tedious. Bookham Technology integrates the light processing functions of optical components onto silicon chips, which it then puts into products such as optical networking transceivers, transmitters, receivers, and multiplexers. Typical devices for dividing wavelengths of light require manufacturers to manually combine several components, such as lasers, lenses, and filters, whereas Bookham can achieve similar functionality with a single chip. Major customers include Nortel (55% of sales), Marconi (19%), and Lucent (7%). Founder and executive chairman Andrew Rickman and his wife, Nichola, own 22% of the company, whose other investors include Cisco and Scientific-Atlanta.
