PROFILE |
 |
Avanex has a tonic -- a pho-tonic -- for sluggish optical networks. The company's miniature photonic processors help increase the speed and capacity of fiber-optic networks, in part by compensating for signal problems during transmission. Customers include WorldCom (92% of sales), Cisco Systems, Lucent Technologies, and Nortel Networks. Most sales are in North America, but the company has formed distribution pacts with representatives in Israel, Italy, and Japan. Avanex has acquired Holographix, a maker of holographic diffraction gratings. Entities affiliated with venture capital firms Crosspoint Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, JAFCO America Ventures, and Mayfield Fund collectively own 41% of Avanex.
